Grace in the bush

The Line They Walk

The Kruger National Park is a battleground — not just between rangers and poachers, but between who we are and who we choose to become. When nineteen-year-old Grace Carter earns her first field assignment as a veterinary intern, she believes she’s prepared for the work: injured wildlife, rough terrain, long hours. What she isn’t prepared for is the brutal truth of conservation — the blood, the loss, and the moral lines that are crossed long before a trigger is ever pulled. Her father, Hugh, is a former special operations officer turned anti-poaching ranger. For thirty years he has walked the unseen war in the bush, doing what most people will never hear about, much less witness. Now Grace is stepping into that world… but she’s coming with medicine, not a rifle.

New book cover for The Guardians Return

The Guardian's Return

Hugh Carter, former special-operations soldier turned anti-poaching commander, is called back into the field for one last deployment. Not to train rookies. Not to advise from a desk. To get the old team back together—the men who once held the line when the bush was a battlefield and the only rule was “don’t die today.” They return not for money, not for glory, but because the war has come back to their ground. And because this time, Hugh’s daughter is in it. Grace Carter is no longer an observer. She’s now a field medic in active combat territory, saving animals in the same places her father once took lives. She isn’t leading the mission—but she is in the crossfire, and nobody touches a Carter without answering to all of them.

The Healer's War

The team is shrinking. Simon's knee is done. Trevor's heart gave out. Ian can't get leave. The legendary ten-man unit that reunited for Grace now barely fields six. They're teaching instead of fighting, passing knowledge to rangers who'll be here when they're gone. Grace isn't learning anymore. She's leading. Running veterinary operations. Making the hard calls. And when she goes home, she starts building something that will outlast them all. A training program for vets who work in combat zones. Seventy-seven graduates in two years. Data showing lives saved, close calls prevented, professionals who no longer work in isolated terror. Grace is twenty-three, exhausted, and building institutional infrastructure from the tribal knowledge of warriors who are running out of time.

Father and daughter in bushveld

Passing The Torch

In the heart of southern Africa, the battle for wildlife has turned into a full-scale war. Veteran ranger Hugh “LT” has spent decades hunting poachers across Kruger National Park, teaching his daughter Grace every skill to survive the bush—and the men who kill for profit. But when Grace joins a new anti-poaching unit, a routine mission turns into a deadly ambush that exposes a far darker enemy: a militarized syndicate backed by international mercenaries. As Grace fights to save her team and her wounded father, she discovers that the fight for Africa’s wildlife isn’t just about animals—it’s about corruption, power, and legacy. Together with Steven, the son of another veteran soldier, Grace must take the war beyond the borders of Kruger and into Mozambique, where the real masterminds hide behind money and politics.
