The Hidden Path of the Ancient Warriors

by Janet Holmes

A young woman (Christine) travels back to her home town, after being away for ten years, to bury her mother. The funeral is also a few days before Christine's birthday. She also had strange supernatural and paranormal occurrences leading up to her travel back home and on the way there. 

After her mother was buried the supernatural occurrences intensified as the day of her 30th birthday neared. A rare 100-year new moon phenomenon which happens on her birthday will shed some of light on the estranged relationship she had with her mother, and also change her life forever as she is crowned with power and authority as the Imperial Ancient Warrior (Mother Earth). She will enter her destiny and purpose not knowing that others have been awaiting this prophesy to be fulfilled.
