The final book in the Fire Universe is now out!
The System is a title that means two things to me:
1) the foster care system;
2) the justice system.
Both systems can be unfair at times, and The System dives into that a bit. It also tells the story of Kieran, a woman who discovers through one of those DNA sites that she has an identical twin sister. She finds that out because the police come calling, suspecting her of a homicide that she had nothing to do with. Through that DNA, the police land on her newly discovered twin, and while Kieran gets to know her new sibling, she has to decide if she believes Marin or not when Marin claims her innocence.
Carina is the prosecutor assigned to the case, and after spending a little time with Kieran, she knows she should pull away because she can’t be falling for the sister of the woman she’s prosecuting. But something tells her to take a chance on both Kieran and on Marin’s case, and they work together to uncover the truth all while falling in love.
Many of you know that I never planned to write more books in this universe after The Disappeared. I felt like I’d ended that book where I wanted it to end, and yes, that included keeping the unfortunate realism of things that, with cases like Noah’s, we often don’t get the resolution we want.
Then, years later, I got the idea for The Kidnapped and saw a way to connect the stories together, so a return to the universe became inevitable for me. The idea for The System followed shortly after, and now, the series is complete.
There won’t be a designated What Happened After, but in this last installment of the series, you’ll see all 6 returning main characters from the Fire Universe (Kenna & Ripley, Dylan & Ada, and Raleigh & Hollis), and you’ll also get some resolution to a certain unresolved crime.
The most common question I’ve gotten since The Disappeared came out many years ago has been, "What happened to Noah?"
Check out The System, and you’ll find out.
