Thrilling Adventure with a Sweet Love Story”



Here’s the set-up:

Professor Tikaya Komitopis isn’t a great beauty, a fearless warrior, or even someone who can walk and chew chicle at the same time, but her cryptography skills earn her wartime notoriety. When enemy marines show up at her family’s plantation, she expects the worst. But they’re not there to kill her. They need her to decode mysterious runes, and they ask for help in the manner typical of a conquering empire: they kidnap her, threaten her family, and throw her in the brig of their fastest steamship. 

Her only ally is a fellow prisoner who charms her with a passion for academics as great as her own. Together, they must decipher mind-altering alchemical artifacts, deadly poison rockets, and malevolent technological constructs, all while dodging assassination attempts from a rival power determined the expedition should fail. As if Tikaya didn’t have troubles enough, her new ally turns out to be exiled fleet admiral, Federias Starcrest, the man who recommended taking over her nation. To trust him could be a mistake; to fall in love with him would be a betrayal to her people, her family, and the fiancé she lost in the war. Those runes cloak more than mysteries, however, and he may be the only one who can help her unravel them before their secrets destroy the world.

 


 

What the Reviewers Say
“If there is one thing Buroker can do, it is write a wonderful story that has so many things encrypted into one. (See what I did there? 🙂 There’s romance, danger, magic, mystery, and so much more. I couldn’t help but get lost into her book… I can’t wait to read more by Buroker. Encrypted will captivate anyone.”
–Just Another Book Addict


“This book is well written and fun. The characters are interesting, the story is worth following and there are some nice twists and lessons in here. A good teen read with a bit of adventure, some romance and a bit of magic and science. Nice!”
–LeoneGDM


“Lyndsay Buroker is a new author for me but I am definitely putting future books on my must read list. It’s been very difficult in recent times to find a really good Sci Fi book that also has a little romance thrown in. I’m listing some of my other must read sci fi authors to give some comparison on what kind of category this book fits into. So some of my other favorite sci fi romance writers are Patricia Waddell, Ann Aguirre, Linnea Sinclair, Jayne Ann Krantz/Julia Quinn (Arcane Society series) and Jayne Castle. If you like these authors you’ll love Lyndsay Buroker too.”
–Book Collector


About the Author


I’ve been writing fantasy novels and short stories since I was seven. I’ve been finishing them since… well, that’s a more recent development. I’m a professional blogger for my day job, and I live in the Seattle area (“area” is code for ‘I couldn’t afford a house within twenty miles of the city limits and my neighbors have alpacas’). I have two vizslas who are as spoiled as most people’s kids. Occasionally they let me leave the house to play tennis, go to the coffee shop, or take a yoga class. 

My “Goblin Brothers” short stories are available on Amazon, and the first novel featuring those characters will be out in 2011. I have two more fantasy novels coming for the Kindle. Check back!
