I thought my life was perfect, but then I learned it was all a lie.
My name is El, and I live in a quiet southern town where the most exciting things that happen are Friday night football and the annual Harvest Moon Festival. That is…until I learned that the three women who raised me have been lying to me all my life.
I thought I was an orphan. I thought my aunts loved and respected me enough to always tell me the truth.
I was wrong. Dead wrong.
A month before my eighteenth birthday the truth of my birth, of my whole existence, came crashing down all around me, destroying everything I thought I knew about my life. Not only is my mother alive, but she’s the mythical Pandora. You remember her. She’s the one who opened the box Zeus gave her, unleashing chaos into the world.
Supposedly, I’m the savior that three other worlds I didn’t even knew existed are counting on to rescue them. There’s just one problem. I can only save one of them.
A champion from each of these troubled realms are coming to my home so I can choose one to marry. Whoever I pick, gets to not only save their world but also have me as their wife. The battle to win my heart won’t be easy for them, if my aunts have anything to say about it. They’ll all have to participate in a tournament that will challenge not only their physical strengths but also their ability to charm me into falling in love with them.
I don’t want this responsibility. I don’t want to save one world while dooming two others. There has to be a way out of all of this, but the evil forcing this choice on me…the one who has waited a millennium for me to finally be born and come of age to participate in this game…is my own brother, and he won’t take no for an answer.
He’s chaos unleashed, and I’m the only hope left to save us all.
Once upon a time, a little girl was born on a cold winter morning in the heart of Seoul, Korea. She was brought to America by her parents and raised in the Deep South where the words ma'am and y'all became an integrated part of her lexicon. She wrote her first novel at the age of eight and continued writing on and off during her teenage years. In college she studied biology and chemistry and finally combined the two by earning a master's degree in biochemistry. After that she moved to Yankee land where she lived for four years working in a laboratory at Cornell University. Homesickness and snow aversion forced her back South where she lives in the land which spawned Jim Henson, Elvis Presley, Oprah Winfrey, John Grisham and B.B. King. After finding her Prince Charming, she gave birth to a wondrous baby girl and they all lived happily ever after.
Can…not…..wait!
I love Greek and Norse mythology! Can’t wait for Pandora’s gift!!!!
I would read anything you write, I have read most of them twice. I am breathless waiting for the next book in any series. Sometimes we forget you can only write so fast….
What a great looking cover for Pandora.
Great cover but where’s the book?
I haven’t written it yet. I’m hoping to have it out during the summer of 2016.
Summer of 2016! It is Summer of 2016 now! Any chance its almost ready to be published?
Unfortunately, no. I need to write the conclusion to the Dominion Series first, but the first Pandora book is the next one on my writing list. I don’t see that being ready to publish until the end of this year or early 2017.
Okay, seriously disappointed here. I came here today to check out the status on the Pandora series, truly expecting to be a couple of books behind, only to learn that book one still has not yet been written. Yes I am seriously disappointed BUT not surprised.
Sandra, thank you again for sharing your God given talent with the rest of the world. You could have easily whipped through the Dominion series and been halfway through the Pandora series since you first announced it in 2014 but you have more respect for your work and your readers than that and it shows. Rather than racing through a title and uploading a book for sale which is full of typos, grammatical and continuity errors you have taken the extra time to ensure you give your readers the best book you are capable of producing. Yes it does make for some disappointment in that we may have to wait a little longer before we see your next new title BUT…were it not for that extra care, perhaps not as many readers would be lining up waiting for your next release.
Your quality work makes it well worth the wait. I, for one, consider it a blessing to have found and read all of your titles. I have enjoyed them so much that I have purchased several sets as gifts for friends and care givers. Don’t ever feel bad for taking extra time to get your books out to your readers. Most of us would rather have that than see you fall prey to LAS (Lazy Author Syndrome). Have a blessed one.
Thanks for understanding, Muhsketchy! Yes, I definitely do want to make sure the first book in the Pandora series is the best that I can make it. Unfortunately, the move to another city that my family and I made last year has delayed this project, but it’s the next one I will be focusing on after Enduring. I promise it’s coming!
Before writing Moonshade you never mentioned anything about writing a vampire series so it was an extra surprise for all of your readers. What was your motivation for writing this series and how come you never mentioned anything about this new and exciting series before. I am just curious because usually you list in advance what books you will be working on next and you had never mentioned Moonshade to your fans before the series came out which is a great new series.
I actually wrote Moonshade 7 years ago. It was something that I just had sitting on my computer that I never did anything with. I asked one of my friends to read it for me while I was finishing Enduring to see whether or not she thought the story was worth continuing. She really liked it, so I re-read the manuscript and saw some potential in the story line that I hadn’t previously. Thus, I put Moonshade out for people to read and then immediately went on to write Sentinel.
It wasn’t a series I had planned to put out, but I did.
As far as Padora goes, it’s been placed on the back burner for now, but I’ll tell you a secret that I haven’t actually announced anywhere else yet. The world that Moonshade is based in will connect to the Pandora series, especially the Alfar and Valenguard Academy (which was introduced in Sentinel).
So, there is a method to my madness. All I ask is for a little patience 🙂 Hopefully, I can start Pandora in 2018.
I have read all your published work. I love the way you write and spin your stories it literally makes me not put your books down until I’ve finished said book. I think waiting so long between books is definitely worth it because you know that when the book does come out it’s worth reading. Great work cant wait for your next series.
Thanks for reading my books, Marilyn! I took out a spoiler you had in your post, but she did get to tell him with Sarah’s help 🙂
I just finished the conclave series, any chance this book will be published soon? I’ve read all your other ones already! lol 🙁
I plan to start it next year. Right now I’m working on the Circle of the Rose Chronicles.
Thanks Sarah, That sounds fabulous!
A question..
Are you considering a sequal to The Watchers Redemption series, or did I miss something?
While recovering from surgery…
I have enjoyed their story (marking all books read, with full stars!) and have checked through to see if I have missed any books and am currently reading “Mae and Tristens Story”, with the dread that this is the last visit into the Watchers world.
So thank you for our journeys to your fabulous worlds from your imaginasion.
Best wishes,
Debi
Is this book out yet or no? I would love to read this book!
No but I plan to work on it this year.
What comes after the 3 Pandora’s legacy books. Book 3 didn’t end.
I’m currently working on book 4. It is almost complete! That will be the last book in this series.
