Title: The Secret Countdown

Author: Gloria Oliver

Working for the Paphal Saĝiga — the Secret Humankind — has forced Julia out of her loner habits, kicking and screaming, but the hunt for an elusive enemy grinds on.

In the third and final installment of the Discoveries of Julia Xero, Julia’s search puts her friends at risk and draws a stranger -- a nurse -- from her once-hidden past into her life. 

Frustration and fury drive Julia as she struggles with the emotional damage caused by the nurse, while she races against time to stop a nefarious plot that will rip away the future lives of millions of children. 

The Doomsday Clock is counting down. Julia careens closer to the razor's edge as she tries to find a way to stop it. The Secret Countdown, the heart-stopping finale of the Discoveries of Julia Xero urban fantasy thriller series will release in July and the novel is ready for pre-order.
