A year has passed since Tom met resistance fighters against the military dictatorship in Greece, was interrogated and threatened by the secret police, made new friends and made a promise to Sophia. Hardly does he land in Athens again in July 1970 when he and his friends receive their first courier assignment for the resistance group, which takes him to Crete and entails many unpleasant surprises. Their assignments become more and more dangerous, which welds the group ever tighter around Tom, Nikos, and Sophia. In northern Greece, Tom and Nikos are ambushed by Albanian agents, and on the concentration camp island of Leros they are again targeted by the secret police. Tom soon realizes that things are often not what they seem. At the same time he realizes that he is in a dilemma: he loves Sophia, but he also loves Nikos. Will he have to make a decision? In the second book of "The Right People" series, the action picks up pace. Adventure and danger lurk around every corner, but Tom and his friends take on the challenge, now joined by Dave the Englishman, four Australian students and two pairs of German siblings. I'd like to take John Piccone for the time and energy he spent editing this book.

In this tale, European mysticism meets African Obeah, also known as African black magic. Follow along as Rasputin's mixed race children avenge his death in a battle not of good and evil, but of desire, chaos and confusion. Will Vladimir escape the monastery, his holy prison? Will he want to? Will he work together with his Obeah practicing black mother and sisters or turn against them? Will he find true love? Read to learn more! *Disclaimer* This story is NOT an accurate description of History or Russia, instead its based in a fictional world that is heavily inspired by Russia, and the life of Grigori Rasputin, but does not reflect the actual events of his life or death. The places, events and time period of these events are also not in line with actual history and some places mentioned do not exist. This story is not intended to address Soviet Russia or any political concerns related to the region. It's very superficial in its relation to the culture and language. I wanted to have as much creative liberty as possible and create my OWN take on historical events through the realm of fantasy. Also, I am not from Russia, and my knowledge on their culture and language is superficial at best so you should really go to a more reputable source if you want to learn more about the interesting history of the people. To learn more about this fascinating historical figure, please do your research! Reality is sometimes even more intriguing than fiction.

Sixteen-year-old Gaia has never been far from Aeslen Monastery, but she doesn't need geography lessons to know there's a lot more of Lysaran than the old church can offer. Yet as a penniless orphan, Gaia's only choice is to become a Priestess, her dreams just that: Dreams. Until she sees a disturbing omen in the woods. Until a knight in black armor hunts her down, and ends that life forever. Suddenly Gaia is face-to-face with the man who haunts her nightmares, and he's offering her a deal: die now, or save Lysaran first. It seems like an easy decision, but saving the world isn't proving to be a simple task. Her secrets are piling up, a Worg has Aeslen City under siege, and the Gods couldn't seem to care less. Gaia answered yes, but can she really commit to being the hero when she's spent her life as a nobody? The old adage 'be careful what you wish for' never seemed so true. Gaia has a second life, but it may not be her life to live. ㅣThanks for visiting!
