Cross of Secrets
by Thérèse Judeana
An impenetrable shadow has bound the galaxy of Andromeda for centuries. After a freak accident of space, an empire of slave traders learns to control time. Now nothing can stop them from taking whom they will. In the deadly currents of a universe torn by the Marauders, can Marc, one of the galaxies’ guardians, protect those he loves? Will his daughter survive her traumatic past? Can anyone bring light to the Marauders and break Andromeda’s chains?
In this first book of the trilogy, entitled Cross of Secrets, we find a man whose life is torn apart by the slave trade, a woman whose past contains a dangerous secret, and a slave who hides more than anyone can guess. Will they come to grips with the weight of their secrets before the Marauders strike again?

TESTIMONIALS
“Featuring beautiful illustrations from Grace Bourget, Thérèse Judeana brilliantly weaves together a captivating story with ancient secrets, the elements of STREAM (science, technology, religion, engineering, art and math), the beauty of the Catholic Faith and a little bit of romance in a thrilling sci-fi adventure you will never forget! Throughout the story, the characters experience God’s presence and providence in their lives and learn to follow His Will. As the characters navigate trauma and grief, Thérèse Judeana shows us that friendship is one of God’s greatest gifts, and there is always a light at the end of the tunnel. Faithful Catholic authors like Thérèse Judeana truly make the world a better place, and I can’t wait to accompany the crew of the Lumenara on their next adventure!” – E.G. Enga, author of The Children of the Chapel and the First Christmas
“This compellingly-plotted space and time travel adventure will leave you keen to read its sequel.” – Dr. Lucy Underwood-Healy, author of The Guest of Night
