Protecting Them

Three sisters-Alex, Aly, and AJ-survive what no one should. Stolen from their lives, bound in captivity, and brutalized by people who call themselves gods, they endure months of torture meant to break not only their bodies but their bond. Yet even in the darkest places-under collars, chains, and the cruelty of monsters-their love for each other becomes their rebellion, their only shield against despair.
When they are finally rescued, survival is only the beginning. The sisters must face not only their scars but the memories that won't stay buried: nights of violence, rituals meant to erase them, and the unbearable weight of knowing that Alex endured the worst to protect her sisters. As they return home to their parents, Mike and Carol, healing seems impossible-until the sisters discover something extraordinary. In moments of greatest terror, their bond ignites into a shimmering, turquoise shield: a supernatural force born from shared suffering, fierce love, and unbreakable will.
Together with their parents-and John, the man who refuses to leave their side-they begin to piece themselves back together. But healing is not simple. Memories surface in jagged flashes, secrets spill into the open, and faith is tested against the violence of the past. In whispered prayers, hospital rooms, and the warmth of family traditions, they discover that survival is not enough. To truly live, they must embrace both their scars and their light.
Raw, haunting, and fiercely redemptive, this is a story of trauma, sisterhood, and the miraculous strength found in love. More than victims, Alex, Aly, and AJ are survivors-bound not by what was done to them, but by what they refused to let be taken: each other.
