Before the world knew her as one of the strongest officers in Los Angeles, Athena Carter held a secret born from heartbreak. At eighteen, she discovered she was pregnant with her boyfriend Emmet's child-only to lose him to a tragic shooting weeks later. Grieving, alone, and determined to protect the life growing inside her, Athena left her hometown behind and built a new future in LA.
There, she raised her daughter, Sophia, through seven years of single motherhood and relentless work as a rookie cop. Eventually, Athena found love again with Michael Grant, and Sophia's world expanded-first with the arrival of her baby sister May, and years later with her brother Harry. A blended family, unexpected joy, and the unbreakable bond between a mother and her firstborn shaped Sophia into someone strong, steady, and brave.
Now twenty years old, Sophia Carter stands at her own crossroads. Driven by the fire that forged her childhood, she is training for the firefighter academy with a singular goal: to save lives the way no one could save her father. But stepping into the line of duty means confronting her past, discovering her identity beyond the badge and the flames, and protecting the family she treasures above all else.
A story of resilience, found family, and legacy, Daughter of the Badge follows Sophia's journey from tragedy to purpose as she finds her place in a world where every choice can ignite a new future.
