Okinawa's Paradise Hides a Nightmare

Zena Marlowe thought her biggest challenge would be adjusting to life as an Air Force spouse in Okinawa.But when ancient forces awaken across the island, her world is turned upside down.As strange circumstances surround students at her school on the base and whispers of demons fly through the streets, Zena finds her convictions tested in ways she never imagined.Caught between modern skepticism and primordial evil, Zena must navigate a treacherous path where belief itself becomes a weapon. Soon the line between myth and reality blurs.Zena discovers that faith - in herself, in others, and in forces beyond understanding - may be the key to survival.But in a land where spirits hunger and gods walk among men, even the strongest principles come at a terrible price.Can Zena's resolve withstand Okinawa's supernatural onslaught, or will she lose everything - including her soul - to the darkness that threatens to consume the island?For fans of "The Ruins" by Scott Smith and "Ring" by Koji Suzuki. If you enjoyed "Uzumaki" by Junji Ito, "Gates of Okinawa" will keep you up all night!
