The Flames of Time - Book 1 in the Flames of Time trilogy

Africa keeps its secrets well,
  and its ancient secrets best of all.

Untouched by the stock market crash of 1929 Kenya is the glamorous and exotic retreat for many seeking to escape the privations of the western world. 

After a group of friends get drawn into a strange shamanic ritual that changes their perception of reality, and reveals an ages old secret. A secret which could re-write history, and change the destiny of mankind, they find themselves on a path they cannot help but follow. 

But to follow this path to its source, the group must first recover a number of ancient artefacts that can show them the way, hidden at some of the world's most ancient sites and written the oldest languages known to man. 

However, there are those for whom keeping such secrets buried is not only a responsibility, but also a solemn duty. Powerful individuals who will apparently stop at nothing to protect the world as we know it from the secrets of the past.
