Destiny Defied

After a dramatic escape from a shipwreck, Riki, a headstrong eighteen-year-old, finds refuge on a mysterious island with four odd college boys, who believe in the God of Heaven. Isaac, the rugged EMT searching for new purpose in life, insists no one else is around, but Riki cannot ignore her fear that someone is stalking her. Lord Vétis, high priest of a cultic underground, will stop at nothing to reclaim their chosen one. Using every trick in his book, he covertly manipulates Riki and her four self-assigned bodyguards, triggering a battle that consumes the entire island. The underground will never allow Riki to live out her dreams of a normal life, something she has never known.Unless she surrenders to the Power truly great enough to defeat her dark past, Riki’s friends will meet death, and Riki will return to captivity...or worse.
