Summary: Have you ever looked for something you know is there but can’t find it? My name is Draxton Dubois, and I am a speleologist. When it comes to maps and finding what I’m looking for, I become a tire-screeching, hyper-focused maniac. I utilize my charm to get what I want. I know no one can refuse me when I’m wearing my sexy speleologist jean shorts, even if I wear flip-flops and a wide-brimmed hat. My obsession with my work leaves very little room for intimate relationships. But I will do anything to secure an extension to explore the Star Caves, nestled in the Cradle of Mankind, South Africa. With my grandfather’s map in hand, I set out to barter for more time. The plan was simple. Entice, seduce, and bribe the man responsible for my future. He accepted the bribe, my priceless map, but became a pain in my butt as soon as he started showing up at the site. “He can’t get lost, even in complete darkness. He possesses a unique talent. He can effortlessly navigate underground tunnels and cave systems simply by crawling through them. Once he’s outside, with pen and paper, he can recreate everything from memory as if a machine had scanned and recorded it. Draxton Dubois is the world’s finest cave cartographer.” Children of Anzulla is a crossover from Kashel Char’s New Beginnings M/M Series. The true name of Earth is Anzulla, and whether it is recognized in the present depends on the outcome of the past war with Apsu and the Zelk. Draxton and Kellan tumble through a time portal and discover Anzulla desolate, split into two continents. The Zelk’s population thrives on the sweltering Light Continent, while abandoned and orphaned children on the Dark Continent struggle to survive. They are the source of the turmoil and the origin of the paranormal in the present. Magical beings such as angels, demons, polar bears, and dragons result from Anunnaki gene manipulation. Even the Zelk were created this way. WARNING: This story contains speculative, twisted versions of history, explicit, graphic depictions of violence, and crude language unsuitable for young or sensitive readers or anyone offended by gay sex. One of the main characters is on the autism spectrum, and persons sensitive to this character type may find certain situations triggering.
