Valor

Charlie's story continues. He's a modern-day superhero with his hands full. After months of training, Team Valor is beginning to come to grips with their magic and planning for a future working with the United States military. When ISIS subverts a general-Charlie interferes with their plans. Too late to stop Sara's kidnapping, he manages to warn his teammates before all can be taken. Now, he'll do anything to get Sara back. A Warrior empowered by his rage, ISIS isn't prepared for the hell they've unleashed. A protection warrior, driven by his magic, and fueled by his rage to protect those in his party, Charlie is a force the terrorists are not prepared for.

The magic evolves, connecting Team Valor in ways they couldn't foresee. They're back together, but not safe. They must track down the people responsible for planning Sara's kidnapping and eliminate the threats if they hope to lead a more normal life with their secrets intact. Connected by magic and love, Sara and Charlie vow to stay together. A vow the magic seals with lightning, revealing it isn't a passive ability that they possess, but a living entity that possesses them. This new connection might be more than they bargained for though. Now privy to his wife's emotions, the terror she feels is all too clear to him, enraging both he and his magic. And, to keep his new wife sane, Charlie is willing to do anything.

Life seems to be going well for Charlie. He loves the Naval Academy, Sara and Oz seem happy spending their time studying and working on their own projects, and his only problems seem mundane in nature. But trying to live a normal life has disastrous consequences and he only has himself to blame. Now his wife needs another warrior and he's reminded there are still men out there who want her for their own reasons- friends and foes alike…

Learning at an ever-increasing rate, Sara and Oz begin putting their security devices in action and not a moment too soon. An overheard conversation soon pits Team Valor against Mr. X, an unknown enemy who's willing to kill to keep his secrets. Every layer of deceit they unravel leads to deeper, more troubling ones, and Team Valor doesn't know who to trust. The magic is making demands of its own, and the pressure on Charlie increases as he tries to keep it satisfied. To make Stasia happy, and keep the magic content, Charlie and Sara attempt to transform Joy. An attempt that has repercussions they didn't expect. The magic and Sara's needs aren't compatible, and Charlie finds out sometimes stepping back to let others fight their own battles is the hardest fight to face.
