WHERE THE LIGHT FALLS: THE STRANGER IN THE BARN
About this audiobook
When dawn breaks over the Texas Hill Country, Sera Ellison expects another day of quiet work, stubborn fences, and the kind of loneliness she’s learned to live with. She does not expect a man to fall out of the sky and land in her pasture.
He calls himself Vorik. He doesn’t know where he came from. He doesn’t understand the world she lives in. And the strange light flickering beneath his skin says he’s not from anywhere she’s ever heard of.
Sera should send him away. Instead, she finds herself letting him stay—first in her barn, then in her routines, then in the quiet places she thought grief had closed forever.
But the land feels different since he arrived. Animals react to him. Storms pull at him. And something dangerous is moving at the edges of her ranch, drawn to the same impossible energy that brought him here.
As trust grows into something deeper, Sera must decide whether to protect the life she’s always known… or the man who’s beginning to feel like home.
