Shattered Ashes

Nine years after vanishing from her family, Morai Fletcher is found alive, scarred, silent, and fiercely protective of the younger siblings she kept alive through years of abuse. Reunited with her older brother, Slade Fletcher, a decorated commander and medical innovator who never stopped grieving the sister he lost, Morai is given something she no longer knows how to trust, safety.
But rescue is only the beginning. As Slade's experimental nanite technology heals Morai's body, her mind remains trapped in survival, and the family begins uncovering signs that the children's past may reach farther than anyone feared. With danger still closing in and old wounds surfacing, Slade must confront the limits of vengeance and learn that saving his family means more than pulling them from the dark.
