She doesn’t want a fight. She just wants to protect the girl.
When her best friend collapses without warning, Allison takes on a role no one expected—guardian to a three-year-old who’s already lost one mother. Meg Walker, the child’s named protector, has been gone for years. On paper, custody should be simple.
But nothing about this is simple.
Enter Naveen Shivdasani: wealthy, magnetic, and armed with a legal claim. He insists the girl belongs with her magical lineage in India where she'll have a life of private tutors, a sprawling estate, and a legacy that stretches back centuries. On paper, it'''s a better life.
But Allison’s instincts say otherwise.
As court filings disappear and the girl begins sketching symbols no one should know, Allison is forced to confront a truth she’s long buried. Magic is part of her, and silence can no longer keep anyone safe.
Some promises aren’t meant to be kept.
Refuge is a gritty, emotionally charged urban fantasy novella about found family, over-40 heroines, and the quiet power of women who refuse to back down. Perfect for fans of K.F. Breene, Shannon Mayer, and Seanan McGuire.
Set in the world of The Hellgate Chronicles, Refuge expands Allison’s story in a tale of resilience, loyalty, and dangerous magic.
