Overview

After the harrowing events in Jasper Hill, Miriam Ryder and Ava McCormick begin new lives under fresh identities in South Carolina, determined to build the quiet future they've dreamed of. But starting over isn't simple. As Miri steps off hormone therapy to try to start a family with Ava, she grapples with the emotional toll of dysphoria. At the same time, Ava begins a new job at a local high school, unaware that someone is watching her every move. In the shadows, Westley Grant orchestrates his next play, using power and influence to close the net around them. With love as their anchor and danger closing in, Miri and Ava must face both personal and external battles, proving that survival isn't just about escaping the past-it's about forging a future strong enough to withstand the fire. Reborn in Shadows: Through the Fire is the powerful follow-up to the award-winning From the Ashes, winner of the 2025 National Indie Excellence Award for Best LGBTQIA+ Fiction and a Distinguished Favorite in the 2025 NYC Big Book Awards. Like its predecessor, Through the Fire has also been selected for inclusion in the Library of Congress, ensuring that Miriam and Ava's journey will be preserved among the nation's most significant works.
