Seraphine: The Guardian's 2nd Rising
About this audiobook
She sat at the edge of the Valley of Becoming after the Void was defeated, the Guardian bond sealed and humming, and felt, for the first time, entirely still.
Not the stillness of the afraid, which she had known for a long time. The stillness of something that has moved through its fire and come out the other side. Quieter. Lighter. Certain in a way that does not need to announce itself.
She had expected the victory to reorganize everything. She had not expected to still hear the Void's voice in its daily forms — the small, reasonable suggestion to control rather than trust, to close rather than open, to choose certainty over the difficult, genuine openness of actual presence. She had not expected that the choosing would need to be made again. Every day. In the small decisions and the large ones.
Seraphine has five siblings, each a Guardian in their own right, each a mirror of something she is still learning about herself. Aurelius, whose care looks like precision. Tempest, who sees the small delay that precedes every feeling she has not yet fully claimed as her own. Verdant, who belongs to his forest without any residual question about whether the belonging is earned. Frost, who is not cold but differently warm. Ember, who illuminates without apology. Obsidian, who says everything in the shape of his silence.
And then there is the thread. The one Whisper described: a red-haired girl in an entirely different world, facing her own fire in her own scale, carrying the same essential courage Seraphine has been learning to practice. The thread is tautening. The two stories are one story. And Seraphine, fully awake for the first time, can feel it pulling.
Includes Jungian analysis of the Second Individuation and the Six-Fold Self.
For those living inside the transformation — not the battle, not the victory, but the long, practiced, daily work of becoming who the fire made possible.

About the author
Tiffany Solter, PhD is a mental health professional, educator, advocate, and lifelong seeker of magic whose writing explores the boundaries between life, death, justice, and the profound connections that define us. Born into a family of mountain people spanning Wyoming and Colorado, she grew up shaped, largely, by two grandmothers who taught her, one through train journeys across the West, the other chasing shooting stars across the plains, that anything is possible.
A survivor of a near-death experience in 1996, Solter spent decades integrating what she encountered in that "warm place where light is everything" into a life of healing work, academic achievement, and fierce advocacy. She holds a doctorate with a dissertation on grace and recovery, and has worked alongside peer counselors, nurses, and mental health teams she considers among the most transformative teachers of her life.
Her advocacy voice is unflinching and deeply personal. In "Be a Man": The Violence Society Ignores, Solter turns her clinical expertise and lived experience toward a crisis our culture has long refused to see: domestic violence against men. Drawing on research, survivor accounts, and her own family history, she challenges the archetypal and institutional blind spots that leave male victims invisible, unbelieved, and without adequate resources. The book is equal parts gripping fiction, Jungian psychological analysis, and practical call to action. It is complete with resource guides for survivors, supporters, military families, and children. It is the work of someone who has sat in clinical rooms with these men, loved them as family, and refused to stay silent.
She lives in what she calls Camelot, a home she and her husband Jeff manifested in childhood whispers, surrounded by family, familiars, motorcycles, and what she simply calls the magic.
“Between Worlds” is her memoir. "Be a Man" is her battle cry.
