Queen Ramala and three of her children have barely escaped a kidnapping by Warlords who believe the cunning Queen is the murderer. The Queens cousin, Tara, has not been so lucky. Kidnapped by Warlords, her life now hangs in the balance. But all is not lost as the Queens six children and their cousin prepare to spring into action. La, Dan, Shaya, Don, Ram, Danaaa, and Yin have just transformed into the Hammer-Axe Six.

Danaaa, a child prodigy and the youngest of the six children, takes her inherited fighting skills to outstanding levels. Danaaa is not exactly street-smart, but she is an expert at protocol. Because of her uncanny ability to swing an ax with lightning-fast accuracy, Danaaa becomes known as High Pressure Executionerand it is not long before her siblings take advantage of her skills in order to gain power.

In this fantasy novel, as the Hammer-Axe Six begin their quest to find Tara and seek retribution for the murders, Danaaa embarks on a dangerous path that leads to the realization that sometimes even her trusty ax cannot save her from evil.

Robert lives in Hermiston Oregon with his wife and two dogs. While driving truck for a local farming company many thoughts wopuld stream through his mind until he decided to write them down. Using his celphone he texted hundreds of poems with sunrise and local scenery pictures to his wife and friends. The practice continued until it was suggested he put them into a book. The cell phone camera proved unreliable to reproduction but the poems became a lifeline to many as he was impressed to write the simply events of daily living in a small farming community.

In the kingdom of Ra, eighteen-year-old Dan is an accomplished warrior, co-leader of his sibling group, the Hammer-Axe Six, and in line to become the king of Ra. In order to succeed, the three-time Hammer-Axe champion and warlord needs a great conquest to provide him with credibility. Led by his inherited warrior heart, Dan begins to plan an attack on the Southern Jungle.

Unexpectedly, the Hammer-Axe Six are confronted and then mentally controlled by a group of telepaths called the Tat. The Tat are determined to eliminate the Hammer-Axe Six, at all cost, in order to prevent war. In addition, a Lightning Jinn is trying to intervene for purposes unknown to Dan. Consequently, an avalanche of unforeseen events takes place. As Dans blind ambition leads him to take on risky challenges, turmoil builds and leads to cavalier behavior as he wonders whether he can live up to everyones expectations. However, one thing is certain: he cannot fulfill his destiny without help from the Hammer-Axe Six.

In this exciting fantasy, only time will tell if a young warrior destined to become a king will succumb to his inner urges and change his fate forever.
