The encounter with King Christian has turned out to be more than what Leigha had anticipated. Now, as a Princess, Leigha is going to discover more about herself than she imagined. Leigha discovers she holds more of a connection to King Christian than she was told. Olivia also makes some discoveries of her own. She finds out the real reason why her mother died and seeks vengeance. There is a powerful creature lurking in the Lost City, a creature that cannot be destroyed. It’s called the Crael, and it is Dr. Connally’s creation of the perfect warrior.

Things take a turn for the worst when Olivia’s battle with the Crael turns to confusion. With Leigha and Olivia’s strong similar features, the Crael does not understand which beauty is the enemy. Fearful of Olivia’s fate, Leigha’s powers awaken in her determination to save her sister. However, that opens the doorway to more complications. Somehow, Dr. Connally has discovered the missing link to the creation of his perfect warrior; Olivia’s blood.

Throughout Leigha and Olivia’s struggles, the girls will learn that they will have to divide in order to survive. But will they remain sisters or enemies while they continue this fascinating journey in the discovery of their true destinies?

With an keen eye for the dark side of human nature, an amazing ear for dialogue, and a necessary sense of irony, Flannery O'Conner exposes the underside of life in the rural south of the United States. One of the powers in her writing lies in her ability to make the vulnerability of one into that of many; another is her mastery of shifting "control" from character to character, making the outcome uncertain. Sexual and racial attitudes, poverty and riches, adolescence, old age, and being thirty-four which "wasn't any age at all" are only some of the issues touched on in this collection. When Ruby has to walk up the "steeple steps...[that]...reared up" as she climbed to her fourth floor apartment, we feel her pain as she "gripped the banister rail fiercely and heaved herself up another step..." Flannery O'Conner, a 1972 National Book Award winner, reminds us that none of the roles in our lives is stagnant and that wearing blinders takes away more than just a view. Through her stories we see that what we blind ourselves to is bound to appear again and again. -- For great reviews of books for girls, check out Let's Hear It for the Girls: 375 Great Books for Readers 2-14. -- From 500 Great Books by Women; review by Holly Smith --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Bestselling author Jerry Eicher concludes the Little Valley Series with one more glimpse into young Ella’s Amish world. She loves the widower Ivan Stutzman’s children and enjoys caring for them. Although she is genuinely devoted to Preacher Stutzman and keenly aware of his desire to propose, her feelings for him stop short of romantic love. Yet Ella yearns for marriage and wonders if what she and Ivan have is enough. When the handsome Englisha stops by and asks about converting to the Amish faith, Ella is intrigued and warily agrees to meet with him. Soon Ella realizes she’s torn between her devotion to Ivan and his children and her growing feelings for the Englisha. With dire consequences at stake, Ella must determine what the truth is, if her feelings are dependable, and how to stay faithful to the will of God. About This Series: The Little Valley Series follows Ella Yoder, a young independent Amish woman who has suffered the loss of her beloved fiancé. Relying on her faith and the support of her community, she picks up the pieces of her shattered life and learns to live, love, and dream again. Ella Finds Love Again (Little Valley Series)
