Training Ground (Fire Slayers Book 4)

About the Book

How does one woman raise four alien boys in plain sight while training them to become soldiers?

One day at a time.

The century is brand new when Caroline flees the underground Lyostian colony with four children she promised Grant she would protect with her life.

He arranged a house where they could disappear into ordinary life. But safety is only an illusion.

Taking the boys may have placed them all in greater danger. Leaving them behind would have been unthinkable.

Especially because one of them is Austin, Grant’s son and the only Fire Slayer still alive.

Told through letters, journal entries, and newspaper clippings, Training Ground follows Caroline across twenty-five years as she builds a family in plain sight while enemies close in from both worlds.

Humans want to examine and institutionalize the children.

The Lyostian brotherhood wants to “rehabilitate” them in an underground observational habitat.

And Caroline intends to let neither have them.

With Grant’s memories and letters as her only guide, she must protect the boys, conceal what they are, and prepare them for the future they were born to face.

Because these children are no longer merely survivors.

They are becoming Lyostian soldiers. And one day, they may change who holds power over the world.

Training Ground is Book Four of P.J. Braley’s Fire Slayers series, a science-fiction saga of alien brotherhood, forbidden love, family, sacrifice, and survival.
