What would you do if a pooch suddenly arrived at your castle door and claimed to be the true sovereign?
‘King Kamehameha’ was well and truly settled in his castle, with his paw firmly under the table, and with one Toni as a possible contender to his self-made regal status, there wasn’t a problem; or, so the rascal thought.
Will you cast your undying allegiances to the cuddly, cute ‘King;’ or, will you spare a sympathetic thought, and maybe your vote, for his long-suffering servant?
Who will be the true victor?
‘King’ Kamehameha’s sole interest in further securing his blissful existence is sprinkled with adventures and unavoidable challenges. All is going smoothly until, one day, Toni, his long-suffering owner, decides she wants to find herself a hubby and potential stepdad for ‘His Majesty’. This sets the ‘King’ off on a personal mission, to deter any impending union between an unfortunate victim and Toni, the ‘King’s’ servant.
And, just as ‘His Majesty’ thinks he is safe and secure, lockdown descends on his kingdom. Will Toni succeed in enforcing her strict rules and regulations, when ‘King’ Kamehameha is in the full throes of conjuring up his own rules and regulations?
When Toni is on her deathbed in the hospital, will the ‘King’, at least, think about mending his mischievous ways?
Where will your loyalty, as a subject and reader, be placed?
Set in three continents, over an eighty-year span, this is a story of loss, guilt, shame, deception, love and the ultimate struggle for survival.
Unable to accept his lot in life, in the midst of the desolate and desperate backdrop of Siberia, Stefan Jablonski plunges into a destructive spiral of betrayal and deceit. The silver pocket watch, given to him during his immigrant days in America, and always worn close to his heart, gives him comfort; but what secret link does it have with the past and why will it play such a prolific role in the life of his daughter, Magdallena, and that of future generations?
How will the past, present and future interlink and how will time set the fate of generations?

Will a guilty secret be her ultimate downfall?
What role will Keoki play in her life?
And the mysterious, beautiful Ocean Tia - will she be Lokemele’s saviour, or will she add to her woes?

But, do dreams ever come true?
Do ambitions ever satisfy the soul?
Does love really exist?
And who, or what, are the sentinels? What part do they play in Isabella’s life as she struggles through the mire of her misfortunes and climbs the rough peaks of her life, in an attempt to conquer her own Everest?
Will Isabella be finally released from the chains of her past or will she forever remain a prisoner?
‘King’ Kamehameha is finally going to Hawaii on his jollies!
But things do not go smoothly. There is a crown snatcher lurking about, not to mention big, black smouldering cauldrons, gruesome looking savages, and the chief, Ali’i nui who, incidentally, has captured Toni’s eye.
All is not well. ‘King’ Kamehameha’s kingdom and his whole sovereignty are threatened and, to add more gloom to his doom, he is in danger of acquiring a new step-daddy!
Laughter, tears and adventures ensue, but will Kamehameha still be ‘king’ at the end of it all?
As her ninety-fifth year draws to a close, Margaret’s light begins to fade. With her last wish and legacy in mind, she pins all her hopes on a much younger generation, seeking to bridge the gap between two vastly different stages of life.

As they strive to fulfil her dying wish, they are forced to confront their own demons and embark on a path of self-discovery. Will their efforts to help Margaret ultimately lead them to find themselves, or will their struggles be lost in the dwindling sands of time?
Amidst the turmoil, the question of forgiveness looms large. Can long-standing nemeses be forgiven, and can the weight of the past be lifted? As Margaret, Joshua, and Abigail navigate this emotional landscape, they each seek the serenity that has eluded them for so long.
