Princess. Captive. Gladiator. Always a Warrior. Fallon is the daughter of a proud Celtic king and the younger sister of the legendary fighter Sorcha. When Fallon was just a child, Sorcha was killed by the armies of Julius Caesar. On the eve of her seventeenth birthday, Fallon is excited to follow in her sister's footsteps and earn her place in her father's war band. She never gets the chance. Fallon is captured and sold to an elite training school for female gladiators—owned by none other than Julius Caesar himself. In a cruel twist of fate, the man who destroyed Fallon’s family might be her only hope of survival. Now, Fallon must overcome vicious rivalries, deadly fights in and out of the arena, and perhaps the most dangerous threat of all: her irresistible feelings for Cai, a young Roman soldier and her sworn enemy. A richly imagined fantasy for fans of Sarah J. Maas and Cinda Williams Chima, The Valiant recounts Fallon’s gripping journey from fierce Celtic princess to legendary gladiator and darling of the Roman empire.

I'm not your average hero. I actually wasn't your average anything. Just a poor guy working an after-school job at a South Beach shoe repair shop to help his mom make ends meet. But a little magic changed it all. It all started with a curse. And a frognapping. And one hot-looking princess, who asked me to lead a rescue mission. There wasn't a fairy godmother or any of that. And even though I fell in love along the way, what happened to me is unlike any fairy tale I've ever heard. Before I knew it, I was spying with a flock of enchanted swans, talking (yes, talking!) to a fox named Todd, and nearly trampled by giants in the Everglades. Don't believe me? I didn't believe it either. But you'll see. Because I knew it all was true, the second I got cloaked.

The true stories of five extraordinary young women of valor-all began their life's mission as teenagers, all changed history, and all were incorruptible! The popular portrayals of Joan of Arc, whether on screen or in print, fail to convey the astonishing truths of the brief life of the Maid of Lorraine. The history of Great Britain would have been totally different had the noble and intelligent Lady Jane Grey reigned as queen in the stead of the infamous Bloody Mary. As delightful as the portrayal of Maria von Trapp was in the Sound of Music, her true-life story is far more wondrous. Long ago there was a young girl named Susanna, who lived in the Kingdom of Babylon, whose very beauty would force her to choose between life and death. The handsome SS Officer Rokita, responsible for the murder of countless innocents, could never have supposed that the pretty and petite young blonde, Irene Gut, daily defied him and successfully outmaneuvered his death squads. "An inspiring book. It takes the lives of five women who exemplified virtue in a world where positive examples are few and hard to find. We are surrounded by examples of immodesty, loose morals, and selfishness. This book fills a great need, lifting us to higher standards. I wish every young woman could read it-and the rest of us as well." Stefanie M.
