Grieving Widow, Golden Guardian

A Novel of the Empath Alliance Chronicles

She built walls to survive. He sees right through them.

Five years ago, Elise Calder lost her husband and nearly lost herself. Now she's the architect of Haven settlement, building homes, guiding refugees, pouring her grief into work that matters. She doesn't have time for feelings. Doesn't have room for more loss.

He was forged for war. He's learning to live for peace.

Zha'ren spent centuries as a Sentinel warrior, following orders that stained his soul. He came to Haven seeking redemption, not love. But the fierce human woman who builds homes while denying herself one... she makes him want things he'd given up on centuries ago.

Some walls protect us. Others become prisons.

When raiders threaten Haven, Elise and Zha'ren fight side by side to protect everything they've built. In the aftermath, they'll discover that the greatest courage isn't defending against danger, it's letting someone past the walls around your heart.
