The lives of the Lava men change forever after Florences grand speech and with the possession of the magical stone Marine. But they arent in for a life of luxury and comfort their destiny calls for something greater, for a purpose far higher than any of them would have fathomed. In the beautiful and serene village of Chess Squares, the arrival of Lava men is followed by morevisitors. And they are not pleasant at all. The magic turns evil and a war for the possession of the magical stone ensues. With the Witch of the Woods scheming and plotting with her allies and things spiraling out of control for the Lava men and their friends, the tale takes a turn that of treachery, revelation of secrets, forgotten relationships, and the relentless drive to avenge at any cost. The misunderstandings, the revelations, and the time travel, all mark the the Lava familys time at the village of Chess Squares as a highly adventurous one where they not only try to protect themselves and Marine, but also embark on a tireless mission to help those in dire need at the village, using the special gifts bestowed on them. The second part of the book introduces new characters and a few old ones who visit the village of Chess Squares, those that have met the Lave men or one of them in their earlier escapade, each destined to fulfill their roles. Some fall prey to evil and some manage to stand above all of it. The second part concludes on how love and compassion stands with steely resolve in the face of all kinds of evil and opposition, and how the truth prevails despite the armies mustered by falsehood.

A Lamb Among Lions is the story of Thomas “Luke” McKinney’s tragic fall from grace into the dark world of drug addiction, his miraculous rescue from hell by a warrior angel sent from Heaven, and his redemptive mission into a new life of sobriety and service. The author tells the story in third-person subjective narrative, giving the reader the unique perspectives of heaven, hell, and humanity using characters from the Kingdom of Light and Kingdom of Darkness who do battle for Luke’s soul, awarding him freedom from the bondage of addiction and his lifelong desire for happiness. His journey and search for purpose open the door to intimacy and extraordinary encounters with his Creator, which take him beyond anything he could have imagined.
