Aurora Carter was never meant to be a soldier. At nineteen, she was supposed to be safe—sent to England under her sister Peggy’s care as the world descended into chaos. But safety wasn’t in her nature, and neither was sitting in the shadows. Peggy’s little sister quickly proved she could do more than help; she could lead, adapt, and survive. Where Peggy commanded with courage, Aurora matched it with precision. Where Peggy fought with fire, Aurora learned the patterns behind it, the silent rhythm of battle, the details everyone else missed. Different approaches, same relentless heart.
