Description
Luke McClain’s quiet mornings at the family forge are shattered when a wounded woman collapses at his feet. Ada Byrne claims to be a traveling healer, but her satchel of strange herbs and the shadows trailing her quickly reveal she is running from a ruthless faction that will stop at nothing to reclaim her skills.
As rumors spread through Locust Hill and the McClain family warns him to stay clear, Luke finds himself drawn into Ada’s fight. Each shared task at the forge and each whispered confession by lantern light deepens a bond neither of them expected, even as scouts close in and the town turns suspicious.
Caught between loyalty to his family and the woman who has placed her life in his hands, Luke must decide how far he will go to protect her. When the faction issues its final demand and the hills erupt in pursuit, the choice between love and safety will determine whether Locust Hill survives or burns.
In the aftermath, two people who once stood on opposite sides of violence and healing discover that the only refuge worth claiming is the one they build together.
