The event is free with signed books available for purchase. \n“A fantastic story about war\, love\, gods\, and lies.  Filled with captivating characters\, heartrending betrayals\, and excellent worldbuilding!” — Sarah Beth Durst\, award-winning author of The Queens of Renthia series \nAbout the book: A thousand years after the apocalyptic Holy Wars banished them from Ananya\, the gods have returned—massacring the Empress and the Ananyan royal family\, stripping away the magic that sustains Ananya’s empire\, and leaving it exposed to invading neighbors and vengeful fey. \n            Ketya\, neglected daughter of Ananya’s most powerful official\, wakes in the arms of the dead Empress. Along with her father she is rescued by Sperrin\, a famous soldier whose post-traumatic stress disorder was “treated” by removing memories of his wife and daughter—memories which have returned with the destruction of Ananya’s magic. Ketya finds herself fleeing into the uncertain safety of the mountains where she and Sperrin hope to regroup with other survivors. Ketya’s father holds the answers to what happened and whether Ananya’s magic can be restored—but the disaster that happened on his watch has shattered his sanity\, leaving his daughter and her rescuer to try and piece things together. \n            Harried by creatures out of ancient history Ketya and Sperrin make their way toward a mountain stronghold where an Ananyan army still stands\, besieged by fey who want to retake the mountains they lost in the Holy Wars. Amid a desperate battle they uncover the depths of betrayal that ravaged Ananya—a betrayal that can only be undone if they agree to escort the traitor to the land of the gods themselves.

SUMMARY:Hogan's Hope Book Signing Event
DESCRIPTION:The award-winning author\, Connie Bombaci\, will be signing her book\, Hogan’s Hope\, at the Booklovers’ Gourmet! Personalized copies make wonderful gifts\, and shoppers can get a very special present as well as an early start on holiday shopping. \nJudea\, Connie’s deaf pup and licensed service dog\, will be greeting customers to demonstrate what loving family members deaf dogs can make and how the myths regarding deaf dogs are untrue. \nProfits from the sales of the book\, Hogan’s Hope\, will be donated to non-profit animal organizations and deployed service personnel. \nHogan’s Hope is the inspirational story of a deaf dog who escaped death during the time when the prevalent belief was that deaf dogs needed to be destroyed. It is the tale of a legendary deaf canine champion who endured severe abuse and prevailed as he turned upside down the myths of deaf dogs being dumb\, difficult to train\, and harmful. Hogan learned over seventy words in American Sign Language\, engaged in normal puppy activities\, and provided the hope of life\, not death for deaf dogs worldwide. Through perseverance and enduring hope\, Hogan’s courage provided inspiration to anyone\, human or pet\, that success and genuine love are truly possible. This heroic deaf dog continues to reveal that by choosing hope\, anyone’s dreams can come true\, and the world can be filled with steadfast faith\, pure joy\, and unconditional love. It’s a story like no other. \nConnie Bombaci\, a retired educator\, is resolute in her love for animals\, belief in the goodness of all God’s creations\, and desire to provide encouragement no matter what the challenge. She appeared with Hogan on Oprah\, Dateline\, Jack Hanna’s Animal Adventures\, and Amazing Tails and lives with her family in Connecticut.
