Her wedding ended in gunfire. Now she's running for her life?and fighting for a future worth building.
Aiyana Cassidy wanted one perfect day.
She had the partner of her dreams. A quiet ceremony. A life of science, invention, and possibility ahead of her. But when the minister pulled a gun, everything changed.
Now she and her wife Kendra are on the run across a divided America?a patchwork of independent nations and power-hungry factions where freedom is relative and safety is a luxury. They don't know who wants them dead, or why. All they know is that it started at the altar, and it hasn't stopped since.
Kendra Cassidy is nobody's damsel. Raised in shadows and trained for survival, she knows how to disappear, fight back, and dig up answers people would kill to keep buried. Cass is brilliant. Kendra is dangerous. Together, they're impossible to stop.
As they crisscross territories from the Northern Imperium to the California Confederacy, Cass and Kendra uncover pieces of a plan bigger than either of them?a plot that threatens to tip an already fragile world into chaos. To stop it, they'll have to rely on old contacts, new friends, and the kind of bond that's forged under fire and tested by every choice.
This isn't just about survival. It's about justice. It's about truth. And it's about proving that two people who refuse to back down can be enough to change everything.
Smart, fast-paced, and full of heart, Cassidy Chronicles Volume One kicks off a genre-blending saga that mixes political intrigue, breakneck action, and found-family loyalty with sharp dialogue and characters who refuse to be anything less than extraordinary.
For fans of Firefly, The Expanse, and clever women with their fingers on the trigger and their hearts on the line.

Klappentext
What do you do when your minister tries to kill you...at your wedding?
You run like hell.
Aiyana Cassidy is a happy genius. She has a job she enjoys and is about to marry her best friend and their groom. And then the minister pulls out a gun. She grabs their hands and runs away, but nobody else saw what she saw! Is she imagining things? It doesn't matter for now, because Kendra Foster-Briggs believes her, and together there's never been anything they couldn't handle. Finding out what happened, who was behind it, and why is going to be tough enough, but now they have to stay off the grid?
Travel with them as they seek answers across the breadth of a post-breakup United States, from Vegas to Massachusetts to New Orleans. There are schemes, double-crosses, plots, and unexpected allies along the way. Welcome to The Cassidy Chronicles!
