'The fifth and last volume in Card's sprawling Homecoming saga. More than parable, not quite allegory, Card's far-future religious saga manages, brilliantly, to be at once entertaining, unobjectionable, and edifying.' - Kirkus Reviews'The conclusion of the story, in which the first born son of a former priest and leader sees the evil he has caused and selects his future, is vintage Card and a joy to read.' - Publishers WeeklyHigh above the Earth orbits the starship Basilica. On board the huge vessel is a sleeping woman. Of those who made the journey, Shedemai alone has survived the hundreds of years since the Children of Wetchik returned to Earth. She now wears the Cloak of the Starmaster, and the Oversoul wakes her sometimes to watch over her descendants on the planet below. The population has grown rapidly - there are cities and nations now, whole peoples descended from those who followed Nafai or Elemak. But in all the long years of searching, the Oversoul has not found the thing it sought. It has not found the Keeper of Earth, the central intelligence that alone can repair the Oversoul's damaged programming.The fifth and final volume in Card's majestic Homecoming saga.Books by Orson Scott Card:Alvin Maker novelsSeventh SonRed ProphetPrentice AlvinAlvin JourneymanHeartfireThe Crystal CityEnder Wiggin SagaEnder's GameSpeaker for the DeadXenocideChildren of the MindEnder in ExileHomecomingThe Memory of the EarthThe Call of the EarthThe Ships of the EarthEarthfallEarthbornFirst Formic War (with Aaron Johnston)Earth UnawareEarth AfireEarth Awakens

Can a second chance get a happily ever after? A sexy and sweet rocker romance that will make you believe in true love... Jaxon West is my kryptonite. It's been ten years since I've seen him. Ten years since he walked away without a goodbye. Jax with his cocky smile, sexy attitude and a guitar strapped across his chest. But I've moved on. Now it's just me, my books, my cupcakes and my cat - and that's the way I like it. Until he shows up out of the blue, looking like sin and willing to do just about anything to win me back. I thought I was strong, I thought he was just a memory. I wasn't prepared for the sparks that could light a fire between us, despite all my attempts to keep him at arm's length. All I can do is hope that I don't get hurt when I fall for the guy who's shattered my heart once already. But can our relationship survive the long distance? The jealousy and missed phone calls? And bigger still. Can it survive the secret he's too afraid to tell me?
