The Discarded Heroes series launched Ronie Kendig’s career with stories about military operators who’ve been abandoned by the system. The botanical-themed titles, Nightshade (2010), Digitalis (2010), Wolfsbane (2011), Firethorn (2012), and Lygos (2017), each represent a different hero’s call sign and redemption arc.
The series combines intense military action with Christian themes of grace and second chances, setting the template for much of Kendig’s later work in the military romantic suspense space.
