About this series
An ancient curse, a lost prophecy, and the deadliest enemy a Daughter can face: Her own heart.
In this three-book collection, three immortal descendants of the Seven Sisters battle to save their people from a curse laid down upon them nearly ten thousand years ago.
Book 3.5: Tempered: For Hawthorne the Chronicler, a strong arm and a sharp blade have always been her primary recourses against a cold and callous world. When her untrusting heart is tempted by handsome comic book illustrator Aaron Kesselman, Hawthorne learns that those may not be the best weapons in her arsenal, particularly when her family is targeted by a member of the Eternal Order.
Book 4: In All Things, Balance: Moira Firebrand is intrigued by Tom Fairfax, the man her mother tasked with sorting through the IECS Archives for clues to the near-mythical Sanctuary. Nothing is ever as easy as it should be. The Archives is in disarray, odd artifacts show up in the strangest places, and Moira's own past wedges its way between her and Tom, the one man she believes may have the strength to capture her heart.
Book 5: Sanctuary: Jerusha Mankiller and Drew Martin continue the People's search for Sanctuary and the Bones of the Just, and find their own sanctuary along the way.
Three women, three challenges, three loves, at a time when the People stand at the crossroads between two paths, one leading to their salvation, the other to their utter destruction.

An immortal warrior. A secret from the grave. And a deadly enemy determined to destroy them both. Maya Bellegarde has spent her entire life searching for a way to break the curse hanging over her and her People, immortal warrior women forced to live in secret on the whim of a vengeful god. When an ancient symbol linked to the Seven Sisters, the progenitors of the People, is found in an unusual grave in a Swedish archaeological dig alongside a cache of rare documents, Maya volunteers to investigate it with James Terhune, a handsome archaic language expert. The attraction between Maya and James burns strong and bright, surprising them both. But when a mysterious thief raids the archaeological site, they must work together in a race against time to translate the documents before the People's ancient enemy can interfere, threatening the lives of Maya and James's families. James soon begins to suspect, however, that the secrets of the grave are minor compared to the secrets Maya holds, secrets that could hamper their burgeoning relationship and cripple the work they've undertaken. Can she learn to trust him before their common enemy strikes? Or has time hardened her heart to the love that could save them both and help them uncover the only hope her People have for redemption? Don't miss The Prophecy, the first book in the Daughters of the People Series by Lucy Varna. If you like strong female characters based on the Amazons of Greek mythology, then you'll love this Fantasy Romance!

Some truths are better left untold... Daniella Nehring is a fierce warrior with a turbulent past. Born in the earliest days of World War II to unknown parents, she was raised by Rebecca Upton, one of the People's most notable leaders. Dani has always had questions about her parents' identities, information Rebecca refuses to reveal, leaving a gaping hole in Dani's own identity. Dani travels to New York on Rebecca's orders to search for the mysterious woman who stole a copy of the Prophecy of Light from the People. There, she teams up with Dave Winstead, an FBI agent working undercover with the People's most ancient and deadly enemy. Dave has a soft spot for the young warrior that divides his loyalties between her and the job he took in order to fulfill a promise he made a decade and a half before, a promise he's determined to keep, no matter what the cost. As Dani and Dave are drawn deeper into the hunt for the missing artifact, Dani's immortality is jeopardized, and with it, her ability to reclaim the Prophecy tablet. When she learns the truth about her heritage, Dani must confront her past in a struggle that will change her life forever.

After fourteen years, Indigo Dupree returns to Tellowee, Georgia, to face the past she left behind. She's tired of running, tired of hiding, and wants nothing more than to help her mother through the final days of her pregnancy. What she doesn't want is to become romantically entangled, not even to the sinfully handsome Bobby Upton, whose kiss sent her fleeing a decade and a half before. Bobby is the son of the Blade and a ruthless warrior in his own right. At sixteen, the age of manhood among the People, he tried to claim the woman he loved and failed, and spent the next decade hacking his way through Uncle Sam's enemies. Now a successful businessman, he's given the task of tracking down the People's enemies, including India Furia, the twin sister of his heart's only love. Duty demands Indigo atone for the sins of her sister by helping to bring her in. India has other ideas, ones that draw Indigo and Bobby into a deadly game involving the Prophecy of Light, forcing Indigo to choose between her duty and her heart. Daughters of the People: Immortal Amazons unjustly cursed, struggling to save their People, and their hearts.
