The Bone Road

Desert. Crypt. Traitors.
 

Buried beneath the shifting sands of the Taklamakan Desert of eastern China, SERA uncovers a crypt that was never meant to be opened. What it holds was meant to stay sealed forever.

An ancient skull. A buried warning. A secret worth killing for.

On the edge of the Taklamakan Desert, agents from SERA, the Special Exploration and Recovery Agency, join a cultural mapping mission that uncovers more than ancient armor and broken bones. Beneath a collapsing dune lies a sealed crypt—and a bronze container designed to keep something in.

What was locked away centuries ago was never meant to be opened. And the deeper they dig, the more powerful forces move to make sure the past stays buried—no matter the cost.

Inspired by real Silk Road expeditions and the hidden empires of Central Asia.

Set on the edge of the Taklamakan Desert in eastern China, twin to the Gobi of Central Asia, this fast-read thriller roots itself in the forgotten empires of the Silk Road.

It delivers an archaeological recovery thriller, desert survival peril, and betrayal under shifting sands where the weak don't walk away.

Includes a behind-the-scenes historical note and field gear specs for readers who want to dig deeper into the real-world discoveries that sparked the story.
