As Prince Valerian and Merry flounder in the aftermath of their terrible losses, they must adjust to the changes that have been wrought upon their lives. Their sole comfort lies in the belief that their nemesis, Liall Guinness has perished and can no longer torment them. But they are wrong. Liall Guinness is very much alive, and willing to sell his soul in order to achieve his vengeance. As the threat of invasion looms, Valerian and his peers clash with the elders who are unwilling to embrace new ideas. If Valerian cannot convince them to change their minds, then despite having the great dragons on their side, the land will run with blood.

Eleven years of peace shatter when the great dragons attack. Prince Valerian, unable to contact the dragon leader, Albinonix, is blamed for bringing the dragons to Levathia. With King Orland gravely ill, and Merry unable to Heal him, Lord Lewes and Sir Gregory take advantage of the turmoil by putting forward their own candidate to succeed Orland in place of Valerian. How can Valerian and Merry quell these dire threats to Levathia's peace, especially when the unlawfully proposed successor is someone they both love?

When faced with a cancer diagnosis, new patients seek desperately for hope. This book tosses them a lifeline from a surviving veteran to show the way to hope through faith.Diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma at age 46, the author's busy life came abruptly to a halt. While navigating the unfamiliar seas of tests and chemotherapy, she discovered strength she could never have found in herself alone, the strength that only comes through complete dependence on God.Jones shares her battle with the Beast through a series of emails she shared with a support group of Christian homeschooling Moms, along with practical information helpful to cancer patients and caregivers alike, and Scripture with a reflection to inspire greater faith. Because she knows how difficult it is to comprehend lengthy passages while in grief and shock over the diagnosis (and the fog of chemo brain), Jones has kept the chapters bite-sized.
