From the blood-soaked trenches of WWII to the shadows of a modern conspiracy, one family’s legacy is written in fire, secrets, and blood. Fire and Fate is a sweeping, multi-generational epic that uncovers the origins of the war against the Syndicate. Across three books and three generations, the Richards family fights not just for their lives, but for a love that refuses to be extinguished by time or death. Book One: The Soldier & The Nurse In the throes of World War II, Thomas Richards is a young man with a heart full of hope, torn from his soulmate, Evelyn Heartfield, by the brutal machinery of war. While Thomas chronicles their love in journals from the front lines, Evelyn is recruited into "Project Nightingale"—a clandestine government operation tasked with caring for war orphans deep underground. But her noble mission hides a sinister secret. As Thomas fights to survive the battlefield, Evelyn uncovers a darkness that will bind their fates forever and birth a mystery that will echo through the ages. Book Two: The Son & The Spy Twelve years after the war, Thomas is a single father haunted by the mysterious death of his wife. His son, James, has grown into a curious young man, raised on his father's protective silence. When Thomas finally hands over his war journals, James begins to piece together the terrifying puzzle of the "Syndicate." But knowledge is dangerous. James’s investigation leads him to Katie, a captivating woman with a hidden agenda. She holds the keys to the secrets his father tried to bury—and she might be the only one who can save him. Book Three: The Heir & The Truth Decades later, the burden falls to Mark, the son of James and Katie. Obsessed with his grandfather’s journals and the shadow of the Syndicate, Mark follows the breadcrumbs down a dangerous path. He must confront the dark legacy of Project Nightingale and the shocking truth about his grandmother, Evelyn. In a final, explosive confrontation, the secrets of the past are laid bare, and the Richards family must make their last stand to secure their future.
