An insidious evil threatens to escape into our world and only an empathic professor can stop it. Psychotic episodes spread through a prestigious prep school and the headmistress seeks help from an occult society. Daphne Sites, the newest member, must determine if the mass hysteria has unearthly origins. She's a bit anxious--this is only her second assignment. Daphne soon discovers she's in way over her head after a terrifying encounter with a possessed student. And attacks by thugs and nonhuman enemies don't bolster her courage or confidence either! The search for answers sends Daphne to the Amazon jungle, Ecuador's majestic cathedrals, a creepy hacienda, and a ghoul-infested catacomb. If Daphne hopes to live, she'll have to figure out the truth from the lies. Legends, lies, and lust thwart an empathic woman's attempts to stop a supernatural evil in the second book of the Merkabah Series, where a forbidden love destroys an ancient legacy.
"Tanks were one of the great but unknown, and unreliable, innovations of World War I. Manned by a motley 'band of brigands', amongst them mechanics, plumbers, motorcyclists, circus performers and polar explorers, they were developed in great secrecy, prepared as a surprise advantage for the frontline of trench warfare. The men of the British Tank Corps went on to see battle at its most brutal. Tasked with crushing and burning the enemy to carve a path for the infantry, they fought in stifling armoured boxes packed with petrol and explosives, aware that at any moment a shell-hit might incinerate them all. Christy Campbell, former defence correspondent for the Sunday Telegraph tells properly for the first time the remarkable and harrowing story of how the first men in tanks went to war."--Cover
