Ronie Kendig is a bestselling, award-winning author of over thirty books. She grew up an Army brat, and now she and her Army-veteran husband have returned to their beloved Texas after a nearly ten-year stint in the Northeast. They survive on Sonic runs, barbecue, and peach cobbler that they share--sometimes--with Benning the Stealth Golden and AAndromeda the #mwdwashout. Ronie's degree in psychology has helped her pen novels of intense, raw characters.

Since launching onto the publishing scene, Ronie’s Rapid-Fire Fiction has hit the CBA Bestseller List, won the prestigious Christy Award, Carol Award, the RT Reviewers' Choice Award (twice), the HOLT Medallion, the IRCA, and FamilyFiction’s Readers’ Choice Awards.

There is also a book coming out from Enclave next May. Right now, I'm building a new space opera series, which will be science fiction like my award-winning Droseran Saga series. (less)

A quick read. Good, but somehow it felt pretty different from the main series. Not sure why, but still enjoyable.

Really enjoyed this story. Epic in scale, great worldbuilding, and engaging characters. A class epic fantasy but a bit on the dark side. Looking forward to the next one.

I LOVED writing the adventure into this story. It was so cool to figure out what Max & Sydney's son might be like--the intensity without all the PTSD-borne anger and rage. That raw intensity is all JACOBS, and pairing Dillon with a just-as-driven wom ...more

Quotes by Ronie Kendig  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“If I am inclined to doubt, steady my faith; if I am tempted, make me strong to resist; if I should miss the mark, give me courage to try again. Guide me with the light of truth and grant me wisdom by which I may understand the answer to my prayer.”
Ronie Kendig, Digitalis

“Loving a warrior is hard. Dying in the line of duty is an honor to them. They would rather take that road than to dishonor their sacred oath”
Ronie Kendig, Hawk

“I've prayed night and day for God to lead me, guide me, to make me stronger and prepare me. Yet, I am tormented with memories, suffer debilitating flashbacks, and now-now my father is killed. And you're gong to stand there and tell me it's God's will? Why should I pray? It hasn't done me much good." Yitshak drew back, he brow again knotted. "What? You think praying is supposed to make life easier? If the great I Am answers your prayers, it is not to make life easier, but to prepare you to handle more!”
Ronie Kendig, Digitalis
