"No women need apply." Western towns looking for a local doctor during the frontier era often concluded their advertisements in just that manner. Yet apply they did. And in small towns all over the West, highly trained women from medical colleges in the East took on the post of local doctor to great acclaim. In this new book, author Chris Enss offers a glimpse into the fascinating lives of ten amazing women, including the first female surgeon of Texas, the first female doctor to be convicted of manslaughter in an abortion-related maternal death, and the first woman physician to serve on a State Board of Health.
The third novel in The Conrad Chronicles series finds Gloria of the House of Vasilis married to Ambassador Arsilin Lucas and living on Earth.

Unfortunately Gloria and Zeplan don't know that Xavier has located Gloria and arrived on Earth to challenge her to Death Duel in order to absorb her Light-given abilities. What Xavier doesn't know is that The Chosen One, Gloria's youngest child, Lucy, has been born, and that this seven year old girl will change all his plans.
