Synopsis

In Edgar Rice Burroughs' captivating novel, "The Cave Girl," readers are transported to a prehistoric world where survival and primal instincts reign supreme. This adventure-packed narrative intricately weaves themes of civilization versus savagery, exploring the complexities of human nature in a landscape untouched by modernity. Burroughs employs a vibrant literary style characterized by vivid imagery and suspenseful pacing, immersing readers in the exploits of its young protagonist, a girl trapped in a cavern yet simultaneously liberated by her extraordinary adventures. The story showcases a remarkable blend of adventure and romance, reminiscent of Burroughs' other works that often blur the lines between fantasy and reality. Edgar Rice Burroughs, an American writer best known for creating the iconic character Tarzan, penned "The Cave Girl" with a keen understanding of human psychology and a fascination for untamed lands. His varied life experiences—ranging from a soldier to a writer—greatly influenced his storytelling, leading him to depict strong, independent characters who defy societal norms. The blend of romanticism and realism evident in this narrative is emblematic of Burroughs' broader literary pursuits, inviting exploration of humanity's duality. I wholeheartedly recommend "The Cave Girl" to readers keen on exhilarating escapism and sociocultural reflection. Burroughs' masterful storytelling offers not only adventure but also deeper insights into the human spirit, making this work both entertaining and thought-provoking. Fans of adventure fiction and those fascinated by the exploration of inherent instincts will find this novel a rewarding addition to their literary collections.

    .Every legend begins with an impossible choice. 
    In 44 B.C., Dacian king Burebista faces a looming Roman invasion and the certainty that military strength alone won’t be enough to protect his people. Desperate for an advantage, he follows his high priest to a place of ancient myth - a cave said to conceal the Mouth of the World, a threshold whispered to lie between this world and the stars. 
    What he finds underground isn’t salvation, but a terrible choice—one that could cost him his life, his legacy, and the future of his people.  As cosmic forces converge and loyalties unravel, Burebista must decide whether to protect his kingdom with the sword—or with a sacrifice that will echo through the ages. 
    The King Beneath is the prequel novella to The Stars Beneath, a gothic time travel romance trilogy set fifteen centuries later in what is now Romania, during the reign of Vlad the Impaler. It is the gripping origin story of a prophecy that binds Laura and Valen across time—and begins a legend written in starlight and blood.
