    Summary

    Kieran Shen-Rourke thought he knew exactly who he was.

    A husband. A father. A leader. A man who built a quiet life between the people who raised him and the family he loves. At thirty-two, he has everything he once feared he might lose. A home filled with books, laughter, and two seven-year-old twins determined to test the limits of gravity and patience in equal measure. A wife whose presence still steadies him after all these years. A future he fought hard to reach. But some wounds do not disappear simply because they heal.

    As the seasons turn, Kieran finds himself confronting old fears, inherited legacies, unexpected truths, and the question every parent eventually faces: How do you protect the people you love without teaching them to be afraid of the world?

    Set years after the events of *From the Other Side of Oz*, *True North* is a story about family, healing, parenthood, and finding your way home even after you've already arrived.

    Summary

    Fifteen years ago, ShenShen left.

    Cassian Rourke never stopped waiting.

    Time has a way of hardening grief into something that resembles strength. Duty became habit. Silence became distance. And before either of them realized it, years had passed.

    Now, after a family crisis forces them back into each other's orbit, old wounds refuse to stay buried.

    Some love stories are about falling in love.

    This one is about finding your way back.

    Because on the other side of Oz, some things remain.

    *Book 3 of the From the Other Side of Oz series.*

    Summary

    The last time he saw her, she stood in front of a mirror, believing Oz had finally turned her into something monstrous. Moments later, she stepped away from him anyway. What follows is not simply a love song. It’s the quiet emotional collapse of two people who have spent years starving for tenderness, safety, and the terrifying relief of finally being seen clearly by someone who stays.

    Summary

    The last time I saw her, she still believed goodness could exist inside the Emerald City.
    Five years later, I ran into the Throne Room expecting to find whatever was causing the animals to escape their cages. In reality, I knew who I was looking for. I find the woman I had been searching for this entire time.

    The last time I saw him, he handed me a red poppy. He made me feel like anything was possible. When he ran into the Throne Room, I thought he came to capture me. Instead, I realized he’s not looking to capture me at all. He came to save me.

    A canon-compliant emotional retelling of the Throne Room and Mirror scenes from Wicked: For Good told through fragmented dual-POV internal thoughts, emotional recognition, restrained touch, and the terrifying yet electrifying realization that the love between Fiyero and Elphaba never stopped existing.
