An orphan of Davillon, she had somehow escaped destitution and climbed to the ranks of the city\u2019s aristocracy in a rags-to-riches story straight from an ancient fairy tale. Until one horrid night, when a conspiracy of forces\u2014human and other\u2014stole it all away in a flurry of blood and murder. But now, in the midst of Davillon\u2019s political turmoil, an array of hands are once again rising up against her, prepared to tear down all that she\u2019s built. The City Guard wants her in prison. Members of her own Guild want her dead. And something horrid, something dark, something ancient is reaching out for her, a past that refuses to let her go. Widdershins and Olgun are going to find answers, and justice, for what happened to her\u2014but only if those who almost destroyed her in those years gone by don\u2019t finish the job first.<\/p>\n \n Star Wars: Fate of the Jedi: Apocalypse<\/span><\/a> Promo copy:<\/span><\/p>\n There can be no surrender.

But victory against the cunning and savage Abeloth, and the terrifying endgame she has planned, is anything but certain. And as Luke, Ben, Han, Leia, Jaina, Jag, and their allies close in, the devastating truth about the dark side incarnate will be exposed\u2014and send shock waves through the Jedi Order, the galaxy, and the Force itself.<\/p>\n \n The Ruined City<\/span><\/a> Promo copy:<\/span><\/p>\n Paula Brandon\u2019s epic and captivating trilogy continues as magic and mystery wreak havoc with the very fabric of existence.<\/p>\n Reality is wavering.

It\u2019s not a great life, certainly nothing compared to the one she once had, but it\u2019s hers.<\/p>\n![](\"http:\/\/ecx.images-amazon.com\/images\/I\/5189%2BdyfRrL._SL500_AA300_.jpg\")
