In this second book of the series set in the magical Kingdom of Xinesse, beloved friends never give up on each other, even as their secrets build and change everyone around them. Young love and strong friendships are a powerful force in the fight against evil when unexpected challenges arise to threaten the kingdom. Peace continues to be on the line in The Secret of the Tower – Book Two of the Kingdom X Series. Will Xinesse’s knights be up to the fight ahead? Anything seems possible with true friends by your side. Says the author, “I wanted to explore the backgrounds of certain characters and get a glimpse of their futures. Developing a second book in the Kingdom X series allowed me to go further with their stories. I felt readers will be gratified to know how challenges define the characters and I wanted to explore their futures.”

The Secret of the Tower, by Anthony Hope, was received by the author's many admirers with enthusiastic pleasure, for it was many a moon since he has written a novel, not indeed since the war. The present tale is a mystery story with all the thrilling and hair-raising situations that the most exacting lover of baffling, romantic mystery novels could desire. The scene is laid in England after the great war and much mystery surrounds the occupants of the "Tower," an old man, his companion and his servant. Much speculation as to their mode of living and the secretiveness of their weekly trips to London with a brown leather bag, which always accompanies them on their journey, finally overcomes the curiosity of the servant who enters into a conspiracy with confederates to discover the meaning of it all. It is at this critical moment that the old man is taken ill and his companion, an ex-army officer, finds it necessary to call in a woman doctor of the neighborhood to attend him. Disclosures come thick and fast upon her arrival and the situations become very intense, but explanations clarify the atmosphere and the wheels of love run smoothly for all concerned, leaving the fortune, which had played such a mysterious part in the big thrilling plot to those who made gold their god.

Alex, Mattie and Sophie, worry life will be dull when their parents open a bed and breakfast.
