The Golden Valley is in chaos. What should have been a peaceful refuge from war has turned into a miasma of misery and oppression. The church has betrayed the people, Javis most of all. With the help of his friends, Arianna, Tyr and Bloodstone, Javis must find a way to right the wrongs of his faith and put the rightful leader back into power. Once they find him, that is...Drane Khal'Tara wanders the world, a voluntary outcast from his own people. Sick of the treachery and lies of his homeland, he has spent years on the surface, seeking beauty and peace. On a whim of nostalgia, he heads toward his home only to find himself embroiled in a fight between darkness and light. Strangers are his only hope of finding the truth. Dare he trust them?

For centuries, Romany Gypsies and Travellers have been pushed to the edges of society-misunderstood, persecuted, and ignored. But their story is one of resilience, survival, and an unbreakable connection to land, family, and spirit.C J Smith was born into a proud Romany family with deep roots stretching back generations. Raised in a caravan, he grew up immersed in the rich traditions, spirituality, and wisdom of his people-guided by the rhythms of nature and an unshakable belief in the unseen forces that shape their world. But beyond the warmth of his close-knit family lay a society determined to erase their way of life.After more than 30 years as an activist, social care manager, and leading advocate for Gypsy and Traveller rights, the author brings his powerful story to the page. The Tan is a raw and deeply moving memoir of identity, struggle, and defiance-a journey from childhood innocence to the harsh realities of prejudice, discrimination, and legal injustice. Through his fight to change policies, train police and social workers, and challenge deep-seated stereotypes, he has spent his life demanding justice-not just for his own people, but for all those who have been silenced.But this book is more than a fight-it is also a celebration: a celebration of a culture that refuses to be erased, a celebration of a spiritual legacy passed down through generations, and a celebration of family, faith, and the unyielding strength of a people who have survived against all odds.The Tan is more than just a memoir. Expertly blended with sharp social commentary, it's a call for change. If you believe in equality, human rights, and the power of truth, this is a book you need to read.
