An ancient evil plaguing a small area of the South Pacific has been the focus of an equally ancient, very secret fraternity for hundreds of years. Many sacrificed their lives in the struggle to understand and overcome it. Why! They wanted to know, were the neighboring islanders driven to insane wars, the deforestation of their islands and illogical religions demanding human sacrifices? "The Watchers" had to resolve the conflict, but could they? Finally, the Ascended Brotherhood designated one man, a Hjet, to stand as a fence between the good and the evil. Imagine his surprise upon learning the enigma they so long withstood was a very special woman. That she was once known as the goddess of love and war describes her conflicted personality perfectly. How does a lone man whose personal crusade has been avoidance of passion stand as a fence between love and war, the very outer extremes of passion? Robert G. Makin is also the author of Return to Masada, Strathnaver Legends and Aleister Through The Looking Glass. His ongoing theme of "What if" carries through into Faces of Inanna. "What if" the ancients were right in their belief that the gods were immortal? If so, they are still among us. "What if" Sitchin was right in his interpretation of the tablets of Sumer? If so, Humanity was created to be a slave race. Maybe those old gods think we still are?

Few bothered to write about Daniel McGirtt unless they hated him - and then their words were many. Historians remember him as colorful, calling him a bandit, head of the banditti, a horse thief and murderer. Yet the British Governor of East Florida made him lieutenant colonel in the East Florida Rangers. He fought bravely and daringly under Brigadier General Augustine Prevost at Savannah, Charleston and Augusta. Tasked with guarding Florida's border from the opportunism of Georgia's raiders, he pursued them all the way into Georgia, recovering the stolen goods, frequently with much bloodshed and a large penalty consisting of the rest of their property. After the war, when Spanish Governor Zespedes gifted land to the former raiders, those Daniel had angered became his neighbors. That uncomfortable arrangement resulted in harassment, political bullying and ultimately Daniel's imprisonment at the Castillo de San Marcos in St. Augustine and El Castillo de Los Tres Reyes Magos Del Morro in Cuba. This study of the life of Daniel McGirtt attempts to understand the real man instead of confirming or denying the allegations assembled to defame him. The many accusations leveled at McGirtt remain vague, but consistently appear to be written by his enemies. In the face of all that, his many friends and large family remained loyal and protective. Somewhere, between the anger and the love, rests the truth.

The heart of a quiet, peaceful village, ripped open by the remorseless vitriol of a sadistic predator drives kith and kin on a hunt for the hunter. Falling in with unknown races and cultures, they are forced to overcome prejudice and distrust in their drive for a common interest, to live in freedom from terror.

Angus wanders beyond his dreams on a horse of the once divine, gathering weapons he doesn't understand to fulfill a purpose he has yet to discover. His journeys teach him much, but above all, he learns, there are worse fates that can befall a man, than death.
