A fan of swashbuckling adventure novels by Alexandre Dumas of 'The Three Musketeers' and 'The Count of Monte Cristo' fame, Lorna Suzuki had noticed that it was always the men going off on great adventures and enjoying the camaraderie of a brotherhood. Most often, the women were portrayed as the damsels-in-distress.
In writing the Imago Chronicles fantasy series, by adding a female protagonist, one that is reluctantly accepted into this brotherhood, the author drew on some of her own experiences as a woman in a once male-dominated field of law enforcement and martial arts to bring Nayla Treeborn the female warrior to life.
With over twenty-five years experience in various forms of martial arts, Suzuki is a 5th-dan Shidoshi (senior instructor) of Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu, a martial arts system incorporating six traditional samurai schools and three schools of ninjutsu under Japanese Soke, Dr. Masaaki Hatsumi. Although Budo Taijutsu has a very long and rich history in Japan and is steeped in tradition, is only now growing in popularity. Practitioners of Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu do not compete in the sports arena as the techniques incorporated into this system are used strictly for self-defense, never as a sport.

When Suzuki is not writing the next instalment of the Imago series or her new Young Adult Fantasy Series, 'The Dream Merchant Saga', she is a scriptwriter for audio/video life-stories customized for clients, as well as biographic documentaries for TV. Suzuki was also a consultant on the PBS TV series 'West Coast Adventures'.
She resides in the suburbs outside of Vancouver, BC with her husband, Scott White, a talented, award-winning videographer and Bujinkan Dai-Shihan, and their charming daughter, Nia.
Imago Chronicles: Books One, Two and Three is currently being considered for a TV series!
Imago Chronicles: Books One, Two and Three have been optioned to produce a major motion picture trilogy.
In this sequel to 'Imago Chronicles: Book Four, The Tears of God', five months have passed since the evil that set foot into Wyndwood was put to rest. Life in the enchanted forest had returned to normal, but all is not what it seems.
Strange happenings create ripples in the continuum of time throughout this realm; distortions that go unbeknownst to all except the Oracles on Mount Isa. An unseen evil casts its dark shadow over the lands, but this time, the threat could go unnoticed and unchecked.
The Wizard of the West is joined by Nayla and the men of the Order for this quest unlike any they had ever undertaken.
In a race against time on a mission cloaked in mystery, they are forced to put a stop to evil before its far-reaching effects can destroy everything and everyone they cherish. Not only are their wits and skills put to the test, but they uncover a secret that will shake the very foundations of their existence. Nayla and her comrades must step beyond the realms of imagination to come to terms with what is reality, what is fantasy, and ultimately, what happens when these two worlds collide.
