Battles leave scars and families get torn apart. Tessa is determined to protect the most vulnerable from the encroaching enemy.
“I can help you.” Rusty lowered his eyes to hide the tears. “I can fight.”
“I know you can fight.” Tessa’s own tears flowed now. “But these guys can burn you before you get close enough to cut them.”
Awe.
