Warriors

In the aftermath of unimaginable trauma, we don't heal into our former selves. We become survivors. But those who walk through hell and emerge standing? We bear a different name: warriors. This is the story of Sergeant Julia Langdale, a Marine who has faced the abyss of war and loss, and her husband, Marc, grappling with his own demons. Haunted by recurring nightmares of the RPG blast that stole Julia's memory, Marc struggles to connect with his wife, who is silently battling the pain of four miscarriages. As they navigate the complexities of PTSD, grief, and a strained marriage, a new threat emerges from Julia's past, one that could shatter the fragile peace they've fought so hard to build. Can they confront the truth of their past and present to become the warriors they were always meant to be?

The file landed on Samantha McAndrew's desk at precisely ten minutes to five.

"TOP SECRET" was stamped across the front in block red letters. Prolonging her departure, Samantha sat back down.

Later, in a quiet bedroom in the UK, Marc Langdale woke from a recurring nightmare, the phantom sound of an explosion still echoing in his ears. He looked at his wife, Julia, sleeping beside him, her chest rising and falling, a silent reassurance that she was safe, here, and not in Afghanistan.

Downstairs, Julia sat at the breakfast bar, a cold mug of coffee in her hands, waiting. Waiting for Marc to talk to her, waiting for the tension that had settled between them like a physical weight to lift. They had an appointment with Dr. Barter today. Another appointment about the future they were struggling to build.
