Forged Under Blue Fire — A.J. Downey

There are moments that change your life forever. A look or a glance; being in the right place at the right time, or in the wrong place at the wrong time. Oz hasn't decided which it was for him. Not yet. All he knows is that he wishes that he could have acted sooner and spared Mia Köhler her life.

For Elka, it was definitely the wrong place at the wrong time and now she's lost her sister. Lost in a miasma of despair, an unlikely friend has stepped out of the fog of her grief to take her hand.

Both are moving slowly, carefully, working through their mutual tragedy a day at a time. Still, there are aspects of that morning that could come back to haunt them. It could easily be the end of their tale as much as the beginning.
