Valarie, a junior in high school. She lost her parents at a young age and was taken care off by her grandmother, who is the head of CIA division since Hillary's mom was still a young girl. Because she lost her mom and dad in a dangerous situation, she was taught how to fight since she was six years old. She was good. She then persuaded her grandmother to let her out into the world and do 'jobs'. Mostly because she wanted revenge for her parents but partly because she always wanted to do it. And she's good and cool at it. But, not in school. NOPE! NO way! In school she's just the weird, loner, tomboy.

After an enchanted artifact lures Kara Walker three thousand years back in time, she finds herself in the perilous world of ancient Egypt, an era when everyone fears-and reveres-the might of King Ahmose II, divine law of the land.

Her otherworldly appearance makes it impossible to find safe harbor in the dangerous city of Thebes, and Ahmose soon becomes her only salvation. When his life is threatened by an assassin, the eccentric bond between them could change Kara's mind about returning home. Fantasy - Highest ranking #80 Copyright (c) Olivia Fallyn.

❃ AWARD-WINNING PUBLISHED NOVEL ❃ BOOK I OF THE TRANSCENDENCE SERIES ❃ Growing up during the centuries-long conflict between the empires of Egypt and Hatti, the young princess Istara is taken hostage by the King of Hatti to secure the loyalty of her father, the King of Kadesh to the empire. Soon her new life in Hatti's glittering capital becomes all she knows. Bound in blood before the gods to Hatti's unwilling crown prince, Istara, now Hatti's queen-in-waiting, learns she will never be loved. But the drums of war beat again, and when the scheming plans of Hatti's king threaten the existence of all civilization, the gods give Istara a choice: to leave behind everything she knows to save mankind, or remain where she is, powerless, a token on the game board of kings.
