"Author Sandra Valencia has a wonderful way of contextualizing her work so that newcomers and faithful readers alike can dive straight into this tale and feel engrossed no matter how long ago they may have read the previous works in the series." - 5-STAR REVIEW FROM K.C. FINN FOR READERS' FAVORITES

Humiliated by his final confrontations with Alexa Maraná, Sifiq King Bin-Lot encourages ruthless raids against Turand.

Furious over Alexa's captivity and abuse, Gregor recalls his solemn pledge to protect his beloved Turand from further Sifiq aggression. All efforts for a peaceful solution fail.

Facing daunting odds but determined to end Sifiq threats to their family and country, King Gregor and Crown Prince Nikolai decide on the one action Bin-Lot will never expect.

In the meantime, recovered from her agonizing ordeal, Alexa responds to mystic voices speaking through her dreams. Guiding her to bridge time and tragedies, the voices lead Turand's Queen and High Priestess to the astonishing revelation of why King Gregor is so different from other Turandans. Alexa must then search her soul for the courage to leave home and her children to deliver the miracle Gregor will need to stop the Sifiq from ever threatening Turand again.

Becoming Nora explores how unexamined pasts and repressed emotions can simmer beneath a seemingly ordinary and happy marriage.

Until the day her husband shattered her world with the news that he was unhappy and wanted a separation, Nora Stanton had been sure her life was settled, perfect in fact. At age forty, they had everything: good careers, a nice house, and two children-just as planned.

Had she concocted an image of a happy family? How had she been so oblivious?

Nora is forced to face her misconceptions and to uncover parts of herself that had gotten buried in the day-to-day containment of her marriage. As she learns to free herself, she finds herself making choices the old Nora could not have imagined.

"Throughout "Becoming Nora," I found myself getting more and more attached to Nora and her personal growth. I've never read a novel with such well-constructed character development. I enjoyed this book so much that I started reading it again right after I finished reading it for the first time. You'll experience cries and laughs as you follow along with Nora's life. But mostly, you'll just feel so grateful that you got the opportunity to join Nora on her journey. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is looking for an insightful but entertaining read and hope that you'll be able to enjoy the twists and turns of Becoming Nora as much as I did." -Amazon Reviewer

The Ohio State football team entered the 2002 season having won only 21 of its last 36 games, with a second-year-but highly successful in Division I-AA-coach, a quarterback who had one touchdown pass and one complete game-but had a win over Michigan-in his first two years, and a freshman running back. But, they had a potentially productive kicking game, a solid defense-led by a two-time All-American who had a mission to win a national championship-and a big-play receiver returning.

All of these meshed into a perfect 14-0 season, with seven of the 14 wins by seven points or less, including the dramatic 31-24 double-overtime win over Miami for the national championship, their first since 1968.
