Legend of the Song: A Young Adult Urban Fantasy

"There could be anything living down there for thousands of years, and no one would know!"

A ANCIENT SPECIES LIVES BENEATH THE CITY—AND THEY CAN SING

By the accounts of a 17th century diary, there is a subterranean city known as Archopolis-a secret city that is home to extinct species of evolved crocodiles who can communicate through melodious notes they sing. Their only connection to the human world is an ancient well where early Americans in the 1600's used to gather their water, and where a young Spanish girl met a baby crocodile that sparked a bloody war between their kinds.

Present Day: Meet Tatiana Byrd, a feisty and intelligent teenager who is obsessed with the legend of intelligent crocodiles that lived under the city centuries ago and has searched for a way to find them since she was young. Mark Moran, her classmate who likes history, is inevitably pulled into the search because he has a secret crush on her. He finds an old diary written by another girl in the 17th century who claimed to have met a singing baby crocodile in a spring, and their search in the bowels of the city begins.

This is a story of sacrifice and friendship that save two species from a repeat of a war that obliterated a human settlement centuries back and drove the crocodiles to hiding deep under the ground. It is also a story of adventure, discovery and arrival that will touch your heart and will give you hope for a future when different species can live in peace, love and deep and abiding friendship.

EXCERPT


After a few moments, a sustained tone that started as subtly as a ringing in their ears grew louder until the entire cavern was filled with a solid note. A perfect bell could not have sounded clearer.

The two stared at each other, barely breathing. Mark did not even notice when Tatiana grabbed his hand until the cold from her fingers seeped into his palm.

Smoothly, the note changed, rising up by a perfect third. Then more quickly, it slid down half an octave. Varied tones held long and snipped short, moved up and down like chimes, and continuously grew louder. At the same moment, Tatiana and Mark realized together that they were listening to a song.

Something close was singing. Something still invisible.

Suddenly, the singing stopped. In the vacuum left by its absence, they heard a soft breath exhale. Terrified and astounded, Mark and Tatiana turned their heads towards the spring. Both of their lights captured a pair of eyes so intensely white they were pink floating on the surface of the water.

Nearly an arm’s length away from the eyes, a pair of nostrils quivered in the air, inhaling. They could see a pale shimmer through the water, the skin so clear it was almost invisible... a pink glow of a pulsing heart and thin limbs treading slowly under the surface, and a long... long tail curling like a comet into the dark.

For a moment, all three were suspended in a shining gaze.

Then, with only the smallest ripple, the creature dove back down the spring.

And was gone.
