Book Description
Tora is a headstrong, career driven woman who sets out to find the truth about her parents only to discover a family secret that goes back to the Magi. Tora arrives home in East Tawas, Michigan after a long drive from Norfolk, Virginia. Doing so reminds her of the tragedy that befell her parents a year ago, so she doesn't want to stay too long. She wants to finish with her parents' affairs and get back to Virginia. However, her friend and fate have different plans for her, so she stays.... for now. She starts by going through her parents' belongings, and, while cleaning out the attic, comes across a letter her father left her; a letter with a secret that turns her world upside down. In the meantime, she meets Kyle Stevens and John Cummings and discovers her connection to them goes beyond the here and now. Through them she soon discovers more clues that lead not only to more secrets about her family and herself but also to a whole other world and a quest to go with it. The journey won't be easy. Her adversary, the Black Mamba, is there at every turn threatening her whole existence. It isn't just him but the darkness he represents. She finds a calm in the darkness, and it scares her. Will Kyle help her stay in the light and be the protector he claims to be, or will she succumb to the darkness? After all, he has his own secrets. At first, it goes well, but when Tora, Kyle, and John hit a snag, something goes very wrong. Soon they are in a race against time.
