Mara, In The Face Of Battle

April 22, 2025

Book Two in The Victory Series

She escaped the darkness once... but will she survive its clutches yet again?

Despite scars both seen and unseen from her unimaginable past, Mara returns to the home that once imprisoned her in secrets, lies, and abuse. This time, she’s no longer a victim—she’s a young woman transformed by faith and driven by love. Mara is determined to share with her siblings the hope she’s found in a God who saved her life and filled it with purpose. 

Reminded of her past with every glance in the mirror, Mara’s heart finds a home in Lucas, a man who loves her beyond appearances. With him, she steps into a new life of joy, ministry, and the promise of forever. 

But an unseen battle rages. Mara discovers the enemy who comes to steal, kill and destroy is closer—and far more dangerous—than she imagined. Armed with prayer and the Holy Spirit, Mara must confront the forces that seek to crush everything she holds dear. When an unimaginable failure shakes the foundation of her faith, Mara faces her greatest test yet. 

Can she trust God is good when life is not? Or will the shadows of her past pull her under once more?

A gripping story of faith, love, and resilience. Turner takes us on a journey that will inspire and challenge readers to find hope in their own darkest moments.

What Readers are saying...

Having read book one first (reading the first in the series is very helpful to understanding the context of book two and makes for a richer reading experience), I found myself really identifying with Mara--so much keeps going wrong in her life, but there is an unseen realm and there is spiritual warfare all around. Most importantly, we see there is a purpose through it all and the Lord is always faithful. Through a steadfast faith in the Lord (and yes, sometimes that means there's a struggle), Mara's faith overcomes time and again what the world says would surely crush it.

This book series is PHENOMENAL!! Please do yourself a favor and read both--you will not be disappointed!! It is hard to keep me engaged in books these days but both of these books did. Not only that but they got me re-energized in my walk with the Lord again.

Blossom Turner is an excellent and authentic Christian writer, and I truly look forward to book three and to more of her writing!  From Amazon
