THE STREET HAD NO NAME
Some streets appear on no map, yet leave their mark on history.
Across generations, an ancient mystery weaves its way through war, faith, forgotten knowledge and the lives of those drawn into its orbit. From the final days of medieval Europe to the turmoil of the twentieth century, the search for a long-lost scroll becomes a journey where legend and reality are never far apart.
Rich in historical detail and touched by the extraordinary, The Street Had no Name is a story of courage, sacrifice and discovery—where every answer leads to another question, and the greatest secrets are hidden in the places history chose to forget.

Raised in a world where honour, craftsmanship and tradition shape every life, he is content to serve his village and learn from those who came before him.
When ancient powers begin to stir, the peace of the Empire begins to fracture. Drawn into events far beyond his imagining, Jano discovers that even the quietest life can change the course of history.
Jano – The Journey is the opening novel in an epic fantasy series of courage, friendship and sacrifice.
