More than a year has passed since Morgan and Ishmael escaped from the island of nightmares and the clutches of Kanaloa, the dark squid god. In that time, they’ve come closer together, but defeating Kanaloa and breaking the sea curse is their priority. But when Morgan and Ishmael are separated, she makes a difficult choice and chooses to find and rescue Ishmael before he is swept up in the dark curse that afflicted both her father and twin brother. To break the curse, Morgan risks all to discover the secret of the fountain of youth and rescue Ishmael from Kanaloa’s dark influence. But all is not as it seems on the island with the famed fountain nor is the journey as straightforward as she had expected. With time running out, will Morgan break the spell that will crack open Kanaloa’s secret beyond what she ever could have imagined? If not, all Morgan holds dear will be lost forever.

A sea of danger and magic. A family that can’t stay clear of the water… Morgan refuses to let her twin brother suffer the same fate as their whale-obsessed father Captain Ahab. Despite her efforts to keep Nathan on dry land, her brother can’t resist the siren song of the sea and rumors of untold treasures on the Island of Nightmares… Before Nathan can drop anchor and find his bounty, his crew encounters an ominous force. He’s convinced the creature is somehow connected to his father’s past and that one of his crew has been bitten. Could Nathan actually be on the run from a werewhale? As the dark island fast approaches, Nathan’s adventure could end in a watery grave. It’s up to Morgan and her father’s old crewmate Ishmael to save Nathan’s life. But can she possibly change the mind of a man with the same stubborn streak as Captain Ahab? Ahab’s Daughter is the rollicking first novel in The Werewhale Saga, a series of fantasy adventures.

Daughter to the infamous Captain Ahab, Morgan has searched the world's oceans looking for a way to save her family from the dark squid god Kanaloa. Weeks after she and Ishmael barely escaped from the clutches of Kanaloa on a makeshift raft; she is mysteriously transported away. When she awakes in a strange castle on the Black Sea, she befriends her mysterious host, Vlad, and his housekeeper Helena in the hopes of making her way back to Ishmael. Yet despite the distance, Kanaloa still reaches out to ensnare her in a trap hundreds of years in the making. Like a master chess player, the dark squid god has laid out his pieces in the hopes of gaining what he wants the most–his freedom. To defeat Kanaloa, Morgan must use not only her wits but her newly found powers to travel through the dreamline. With time running out, Morgan must sacrifice everything to save the ones she loves. When Kanaloa's great secret is revealed to her, all that Morgan has fought for is at risk. The decisions and sacrifices she makes will not only affect her life but of Ishmael's and the very world itself.

This volume, Volume-Two, continues to trace the histories and the prophecies of Israel through the life time of the kings of Judah. Judah is the southern half of the divided Israel, Israel North being the other half. The volume covers the years of four kings and a queen, and ranges in time from 913-835 BC, almost eighty years. All dates in the book unless specified are BC. The entire history timeline of the book is in BC.

David T. Lamb examines not only the dynasty of Jehu within the narrative of 2 Kings, but also the broader context of the dynasties of Israel and Judah in the books of Kings and Samuel. Lamb discusses religious aspects of kingship (such as anointing, divine election, and prayer) in both the Old Testament and in the literature of the ancient Near East. He concludes that the Deuteronomistic editor, because of a deep concern that leaders be divinely chosen and obedient to Yahweh, sought to subvert the monarchical status quo by shaping the Jehuite narrative to emphasize that dynastic succession disastrously fails to produce righteous leaders.
