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!
In this sequel to Imago Chronicles: Prophecy, more than a century had passed since the Elves departed from the enchanted forest of Wyndwood to follow their exiled leader Dahlon Treeborn.
Establishing a new settlement in the heart of the Emerald Forest of Carcross, they live a quiet and peaceful existence, but with human encroachment and the constant presence of Elves sent forth by Kal-lel Wingfield to keep constant watch over them, they are forced to abandon their new home.
With mounting pressure to cut all ties with the Elves of Wyndwood, Dahlon is intent on establishing a new homeland for his people. In an unprecedented move, he embarks on an extraordinary journey that will lead them east beyond the Iron Mountains into the uncharted lands of Orien; a mysterious country inhabited by an enigmatic race of human beings.
Instead of finding a peaceful sanctuary, they become embroiled in a land and its people immersed in political and religious upheaval and entrenched in a war against a sadistic and powerful enemy the Elves had never before encountered.
