Ahab S Daughter

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.

Eighty years after the death of King Solomon, and more than eight hundred years before Jesus, Queen Athaliah reigned in Jerusalem. The daughter of King Ahab and Queen Jezebel of the Northern Kingdom of Israel, Athaliah was the only woman in the Bible ever to reign as queen in her own right in Judah, the Southern Kingdom. The biblical texts, traditional commentators, and scholars all remember her - when they mention her at all - as a bloodthirsty tyrant. Yet a closer look gives a more complex picture, and this novel takes an unconventional view of a fascinating woman and her turbulent times. Jezebel's Daughter explores the period when the worship, the politics, and the people of the land that gave us the world's great monotheisms were in flux, and draws a portrait of the woman without whom the tides of history might have washed away their foundation.

You can't expect to go after Jezebel without experiencing Athaliah's revenge. After years of battling a spirit she didn't see hiding under Jezebel's skirt, Jennifer LeClaire, an internationally recognized prophet, spiritual warfare expert and prayer movement leader, discerned the spirit of Athaliah rising and attacking several areas of her life. Through prayer and revelation from God, she defeated these serious attacks. Now, she wants to equip you to fight back against the spirit of Athaliah, which is even more wicked than the spirit of Jezebel. In this book you will learn: Who the spirit of Athaliah is why why it is so dangerous How Athaliah operates and what drives it Discerning Athaliah's attack against your life The key to annihilating Athaliah And much more
