How dark is it? Should I expect triggers?
This series deals with heavy themes, including trauma, abuse, violence, and survival. Heather includes content warnings where necessary, so check the forewords if you need specifics. That said, this is also a story of healing, strength, and unconditional love.

Emersyn is tough, resourceful, and no one’s victim. She’s been through hell and still finds the strength to stand tall—making her a perfect match for the Vandals. Her journey is raw and real, but her resilience will keep you rooting for her every step of the way.
Will I fall in love with the Vandals?
