"They stared for an unbearable moment into each other’s faces, colorless eye to color-filled eye...”
WHEN TWO INTELLIGENT SPECIES MEET
Mark and Tatiana’s initial discovery of a strange, clear-skinned crocodile quickly expands into a discovery of an entirely unknown species, living deep beneath their city of Fontel.
Far, far below any areas explored by humans, they follow a pristine system of glowing caves to a vast and wondrous city, built by this ancient species of crocodiles. In the untold millions of years hidden from the surface, these creatures evolved into an intelligent reptilian people with language, art, and music. They also evolved a hostility to anything—or anyone—who may threaten to expose them to the outside world.
Barely escaping these fiercely protective crocodiles, Mark and Tatiana struggle with the decision of how to handle their amazing finding. In the meantime, they develop a friendship with the first crocodile creature who contacted them—a young, adventurous inpidual they nickname Ally.
Mark and Tatiana continue to push their families and friends farther away as they become totally absorbed in each other and their difficult secret. In desperation, they even turn to an unlikely source of advice from Tatiana’s past. Yet, through all their soul-searching, the question remains: Should they stay silent and help protect this shy species? Or should they share their groundbreaking knowledge that humans share the globe with another intelligent life form?

EXCERPT
A city was aglow underground. A cavern unfolded before them so vast that the tallest skyscraper in Fontel would not reach the ceiling-besides which, it could not compete with the natural skyscraper already dominating the space. In the center of the cavern towered a mineral rock column, carved into dozens of levels with openings lit up by rings of glowing stone. Sprawling around the gigantic column, all the way to the far cave walls, were house-like structures carved from stalagmites: an entire city, built by hand from stone and mineral. Each building was artfully inlayed with the phosphorescent stones, circling windows and doorways, even swirling in decorative patterns. The soft light was amplified in shimmers of water dripping down from the ceiling and gathering in tiny streams across the ground.
To Mark and Tatiana's left as they emerged from the tunnel, the river they had been following flowed under the cave wall, creating a slow-moving pool. An immense open courtyard formed on the bank between the river and the city.
Drifting in the pool and crouching on the bank were hundreds of pale-skinned crocodiles, every blazing eye intent on the two humans...
