Description
Information leaked by members of a secret organization calling themselves, The Order of Divine Right, ODR, lured the leader of another much older group, the Morgans, to break into the Tower of London on New Year's Eve. The Jewel he was looking for, was thought to have been the lost Jewel of Power and Authority that he believed rightfully belonged to his family.
The Jewel once belonged to King Arthur and was said to hold great power.
Though the Jewel was not in the Tower the events of that night revealed that it still existed. This set off a race between these two groups on who would find it first.
Both groups knew the Jewel had been entrusted to the descendants of the great wizard Merlin. If they could find his now living descendant, they were sure to find the Jewel.
Another secret group known as the Society of the Greenman, which was sworn to protect the descendants of Merlin must stop the others from finding him and the Jewel.
The quest takes them all from England to Hawaii, the home of the last Merlin descendant and wizard named Alex Michaels whose family had been on the islands since the 1620s.
While in hiding on his home island, Alex falls in love with a woman. Unknown to him she is the adopted daughter of a high-ranking member of the Greenman, Ted Rowland, who had been sent to Hawaii along with his daughter to protect Alex. His daughter Sarah traveling on her own and not knowing her father's mission or connection also falls in love with Alex not knowing who he truly is.
When he reveals his true identity, Sarah is heartbroken as she believes he is a deranged man. When Sarah is awakened by a fairy and sees that Alex had been telling the truth. A whole new world of magic, fairies, and even a living dragon opens to her.
Alex and Sarah's love comes to full bloom and they plan to marry. At the same time, the forces of greed and power from both the ODR and the Morgans focus in on Alex in Hawaii.
Sarah's father along with his friend Jack manages to stop the ODR's plans but they can do little to stop the Morgans who are now the greatest threat.
When Sarah finally reveals to her adopted father about her newfound love, she also finds out that he is in fact her real father and her mother was a Morgan. Despite this, Alex still loves her and the marriage is still on but he must deal with the other Morgan threat.
Rhyfel, the Morgans' leader is a powerful sorcerer and makes plans to battle Alex and take the Jewel from him.
They meet at the edge of the crater of Hawaii's active volcano Kilauea to fight it out. Before the battle begins Alex tells Rhyfel that he does not have the Jewel and doesn't know where it is. Rhyfel decides to destroy him anyway to rid the world of the last of Merlin's line. During the battle, they are caught up in a violent volcanic eruption. Rhyfel is killed in the eruption. Alex, though injured, is saved by his dragon protector.
Sarah and Alex are married at his home in Hawaii. Sarah insists that part of their honeymoon should include the search for the true location of the Jewel back in England to protect her husband and unborn child.
The Jewel is found but its location is kept a secret between her and Alex.

Person
About AuthorMy name is David Faber. I worked as a builder and contractor for most of my career in two states in the US. New York and Hawaii. During my years of working, I studied a variety of subjects in depth. This included religion, history, and, my favorite, Earth Science.After retiring in Hawaii I got my dream job as an Earth Science interpretation Park Ranger at Hawaii Volcanos National Park. For 4 years I greeted, entertained, and educated visitors about Hawaii's volcanos through my favorite pastime of telling stories.I felt that my love of storytelling should be put into book form someday.The book I have written is my first one fulfilling that dream. I combined my love of history, adventure, and earth science to spin this first tale which I hope to make into a series.After leaving Hawaii I moved to the UK where I now live full-time. While here I made a point to travel to places I knew I wanted to include in my book. I have visited most of the places in the story, both here in the UK and in Hawaii because I feel it is important to give my readers as close to a real experience as I can.Writing this book, I did not want it to be a typical fantasy that takes place in made-up worlds. I wanted it to take place in real places around real events and real history. I did a lot of research to ensure that it was as close to real as possible where history is involved. My goal was to blur the lines between the real world and the one my characters live in.Even though my story is a modern weaving of the Arthurian legends, they still hold sway in our modern world of storytelling.
