New novel weaves intricate story of secrets and lies
Ikenna has
been running from his past, but it’s about to catch up with him in ‘Hunted By
Hawks’
NOTTINGHAM, England – In “Hunted by Hawks” (published by AuthorHouse) , author Obianuju Chiamaka Amamgbo takes readers to
her native Eastern Nigeria for an intriguing story of revenge and secrecy.
“No matter how ugly a secret
may be,” Amamgbo says, “it pays to be honest about it, especially to people you
love and care about. Honesty will always make a difference.”
Ikenna has worked tirelessly to bury his haunting
past. Unknown to him, his arch enemy, Tochi, has been keeping a close eye on
him, and when the chance to ruin Ikenna’s young son arrives, Tochi pounces on the
opportunity. Now, Ikenna is faced with a serious decision. He can come clean to
his once happy family about his painful past, or he can continue to hide the
shame that has burdened him all these years. Will Ikenna chose to reveal his
secret, even if it means losing his family?
“Hunted By Hawks” explores themes of corruption and
deceit and creates a flawed protagonist that readers can relate to and will
want to cheer on. “Even
though it is fiction, anyone and everyone can relate to the themes portrayed in
the story line at one point or another of their lives,” writes Amamgbo. “These
events are things people deal with regularly.”
