Where the Fire Settles (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798276367729)

In the mist-veiled hills of the early American frontier, Lena and Daniel have carved out a life from hardship and hope. Bound by love and scarred by a past they rarely speak of, they have raised their children in the sacred rhythm of the land-until the government comes to claim what was never theirs to take.

But this is no ordinary land. It is old. Alive. Watched.

As outside forces close in-soldiers with deeds, strangers with schemes, and a young woman named Rosalind who brings disruption with a smile-Lena's family must reckon with more than the threat of losing their home. Ancestors stir in the soil. The mountain begins to whisper. And Tayanita, Lena's daughter, must step forward to protect not only the future she's chosen with her beloved Saquan, but the legacy of those who walked the Trail of Tears before her.

As betrayal simmers and unity is tested, the fire of tradition, love, and resistance refuses to be extinguished.

A lyrical, emotionally resonant historical tale of survival, legacy, and sacred land, Where the Fire Settles is a powerful sequel to Of Embers and Roots-a story of what it means to stand your ground when the whole world tries to move you.
