Someone or something is stalking Destiny at Shadow Academy. Plunged
into a world of magic and a paranormal romance with a sorcerer at
her mysterious new school, Destiny discovers Shadow Academy is a
portal for spirits. Drawn to super-hunk Liam the first day, she
wonders why he seems so familiar to her. Although Destiny has
long-forgotten her imaginary playmate, Liam is haunted by the
paranormal romance they shared as children. But Liam's deadly
secret turns their dream of love into a nightmare. Destiny is
targeted by fallen angels bent on snatching the astonishing secret
her murdered mother left her. A secret that could release
imprisoned dark archangels and raise up a Nephilim army to seize
control of the world. As Destiny's ability to see into the spirit
realm grows, she becomes increasingly suspicious that Liam is not
only stalking her, but he means to kill her. Tormented by the
forces of good and evil warring inside him, Liam knows he must obey
the fallen angels order to turn the girl he loves to the dark side
or kill her. To stay together, the teen lovers must trick or defeat
a terrifying worldwide network of evil spirits and demons.
Riveting, and romantic, The School of Shadows pits love against
destiny, duty against desire, and calls for the ultimate sacrifice.
Where do you look for someone who's supposed to be dead? The
apocalyptic adventure starts again with Destiny's inability to
forget the paranormal romance she shared with Liam. Adamant that
Liam didn't die while saving her and the rest of their Nephilim
team's lives, Destiny's positive her gift of knowing hasn't failed.
While the English aristocrat, Nicholas, comforts her during her
time of grief, Liam is resurrected from near death and a forty day
coma by his billionaire Uncle Zarek using Nephilim science. Only
one problem-Liam has amnesia. He slowly recovers only memories
Zarek spoon-feeds him, but it doesn't include Destiny. As Liam
struggles to deal with horrific images used to brainwash him into
believing he's a vicious assassin, he becomes convinced a girl with
turquoise eyes who continues to float into his consciousness, holds
the key to the truth about his past. Meanwhile, the entire Nephilim
team is invited to Dragon Downs, an Irish castle that Nicholas'
ancestor built hundreds of years ago. The estate grounds are
overlooked by a huge dragon gargoyle on top the roof. The team's
arrival at Dragon Downs sets off a chain of curious and sinister
occurrences from dragon and UFO sightings in the sky, animal
mutilations, and crop circles. The townspeople are convinced Shadow
Academy's students have caused their woes. As Destiny draws closer
to Nicholas, Liam recovers his memories. An alarming feeling sets
in. Destiny is in danger. The truth comes with a shocking
revelation about his dilemma. Can he save Destiny without
condemning himself to an eternity in hell? Book Two in the School
of Shadows series continues on a dangerous road of surprises and
strange, apocalyptic revelations thousands of years old, pointing
to what may be the last days of earth as we know it.

A child is dying. Her life depends on an explosive secret her
grandmother has kept from their Ohana (family). As Mary Han
wrestles with the toxic revelations, she must finally face the past
she fought so hard to forget. The Ohana is a riveting retrospective
of the social, political, and economic history of Hawaii told
through a historical family saga spanning three unforgettable
generations. From the young Korean, Han Chaul Roong, who murders
the hated Japanese invaders who kidnap his sister and force her
into prostitution, to the Japanese aristocrat Kazuko who abandons
her life of wealth and privilege to live in poverty with the
servant she loves, the Asians came to work the brutal cane fields
of Hawaii under Patrick O'Malley, a refugee from the Irish famine
who sailed on a coffin ship to the gang-infested streets of Boston
and ended up in Hawaii after the bloody Civil War. The immigrants
meet in the sugar cane fields of Kohala, Hawaii where a savage,
unthinkable crime and a failed strike draw the three families
together in an uneasy alliance. Sean Duffy, Patrick's nephew,
climbs out of Boston's slums to the top of Hawaiian society by way
of a loveless marriage to the sister of the woman he loves.
Kazuko's beautiful daughter Mariko lives as a social outcaste in
the whorehouses of Honolulu. Chaul Roong's son, George Han, the
ruthless mob boss of the first Korean syndicate, builds an empire
while hiding his love for his brother's wife. The colliding worlds
of the immigrants and their American-born children and
grandchildren come to a head when an entire generation protests the
Vietnam war and revolt against traditional values. Now the families
must put aside their lifetime prejudices and grudges to save a
young girl. Will their Ohanas survive the startling truth behind
the lies? "A telling saga involving Hawaii's multi-ethnic, Asian
families. Intimate look at the people of the islands imbued with
authentic insights of events and stories that need to be told." Dr.
Dennis Ogawa American Studies Professor, University of Hawaii,
