The discovery of the diary starts Cassie on a spiritual journey of adventure, intrigue and synchronicity, that takes her to many of the world’s most ancient and enigmatic Sacred Stone Sites, and leads her to uncover the Planet’s most primeval and powerful knowledge—including the surprising secret of her own past.

As her startling mission becomes clearer, Cassie finds herself and the diary’s distant (or not-so-distant) writer tapping into a potent stream of knowledge and energy that has flowed through ancient civilizations – from Atlantis to Egypt and Israel, to South America and the South Pacific. It gradually becomes clear that understanding the secrets underlying our world – and these civilizations – is not just a stop on a tour bus, but rather it is essential in battling the forces of Darkness, Ignorance, Fear, and Separation that threaten humanity today. However, to find the diary’s creator and save him, Cassie must overcome her own self-doubt, and come to terms with her gifts and passions as well as a life-altering destiny she never imagined existed.

But soon the house begins to come alive with dark secrets and Vicki begins to doubt her sanity and Dylan’s intentions. And when the CIA arrive to recruit her for one more mission, she finds her past and her future are about to collide – in murder.

The Way tells the story of Anna, a fiery young tomboy living in ancient Palestine who finds herself captured by a mystical and secret society of women; a sisterhood who practice an ancient healing philosophy called The Way. With an unexpected power released within her, Anna’s spiritual destiny becomes clear: to preserve, share and defend “The Way” by proclaiming it among the masses.

Breathing a gust of new energy and inclusiveness into the quest for spiritual fulfillment in the 21st century, The Way is an exciting, adventurous and elegant coming of age tale that is quickly becoming a book club favorite. Spurring provocative and important conversations about spirituality, as well as theme parties replete with flatbreads, dates, olives and food reminiscent of the book’ s setting, The Way is truly a book of spirit, meant for everyone, states Wolf.

She risks the wrath of the supernatural sídhe to steal her father’s sword from his grave by a sacred lake. There Maeve meets the blind druid Ruán, a mysterious exile with a connection to the sídhe she does not understand. She returns to the lake again and again, hoping to gain his hidden power for her own. In the midst of war and chaos, however, comes an unexpected redemption. A part of Maeve she thought long lost is reawakened, and she discovers at last the true nature of the power of women, and the potental she always held within.

Jules was inspired to write novels by the “Mists of Avalon”, a bestselling book steeped in ancient Celtic spirituality, sword-fighting and of course, romance. Jules waited for someone to write more books with that mix..but no one did, so she wrote her own, based on her background in archaeology. Jules’s latest books are two re-tellings of ancient Irish myths. The first, The Swan Maiden, depicts the romantic tale of Deirdre of the Sorrows. The Raven Queen, due in 2010, tells the story of the ruthless warrior Queen Maeve. After much travelling, Jules convinced her husband that she had to move to the misty highlands of Scotland or die. She now lives surrounded by snowy hills, hairy cows, heather – and blackberries.
