New York Times bestselling author E. K. Johnston, author of the Queens series starring Padmé Amidala, brings fans an untold story about Qi'ra, portrayed by Emilia Clarke in Star Wars: A Solo Story. Not everyone gets to be the hero. Qi’ra listened to the dreams and promises of a boy with a reckless smile, only to be torn away from him and returned to the White Worms gang while Han made his way to freedom. Now freedom seems like a luxury she can’t afford while she concentrates on survival and despairs of ever leaving Corellia. But her fortunes seem to turn when a representative of the crime syndicate Crimson Dawn plucks Qi’ra from captivity and brings her to the syndicate’s leader, the mysterious and mercurial Dryden Vos. Vos offers Qi’ra an opportunity she’s never had before: the chance to build something resembling a comfortable life if she can prove her worth to his organization. With failure meaning certain death, Qi’ra knows she must immerse herself in the merciless, murderous world of Crimson Dawn. What she doesn’t know is just who she will be if she survives. . . .

"Why did the kings of college football fall from their legendary status? Written by a former Alabama walk-on, Crimson Slide - with interviews from former Alabama coaches, captains, and personalities (some of whom refused to speak to anyone else) - explores Alabama's recent decline and suggests solutions. You've heard the rumors, endured speculation and desired the truth about where Alabama football has been and where it's going. There is a long story to be told. Which SEC rival is most responsible for Alabama's struggles? What really happened to Gene Stallings? Why did Mike DuBose, a qualified and capable coach, fail? Why did Dennis Franchione, the supposed savior, flee Tuscaloosa for College Station? Why did Mike Price get fired before coaching a single game? What must Mike Shula do to restore Alabama's reputation and restore that Alabama swagger? As an inside-narrative, Crimson Slide transcends the sports book genre and provides a blueprint of how a proud program fell, but can rise again."--BOOK JACKET.

IMPACT is a story about the lasting effect rape has on women, three women in particular. There's Marianne, who loses the baby she's carrying and is left barren because of the rape. There's Lisa, who runs away from home to escape a pedophile and is working toward a degree in journalism. Zoe is the wife of the rapist. Because of the rape, their lives become intertwined. Although the individual stories are the thrust of the book, the development of their strengths and weaknesses makes each character come alive. The purpose of this book is to bring a sense of satisfaction to the many women throughout the world who have been attacked, whether by family members or complete strangers. I believe IMPACT will have universal appeal to all women, even those who have never been physically abused.
