The Second Summer
The Last Route, Book 7
Some summers change everything.
Now available — published 23 April 2026
Summer arrives while Wren isn't paying attention — the hedgerows bright, the air thick with wildflowers, the route humming under her feet.
With the Last Route under review, the villages begin to gather their voices. Not stories of heroics — stories of what the post means when you live at the edge of the map.
Wren is used to carrying letters, not being the reason people speak. But this time, the message is for the Guild… and it might change everything.
