Rachel Yeates

While Rachel Yeates fights battles in the courtroom as a litigator, other battles unfold in her mind—quieter, messier, yet just as fierce. Drawing inspiration from the great epics, where heroines cross vast landscapes, battle monsters, and emerge transformed, she reimagined that struggle to write a spy novel, turning the external quest into an internal war against the mind’s shadows.

At the Securities & Exchange Commission, Rachel defends investors from financial fraudsters. Yet, in the latest federal shakeup, the very system designed to protect the vulnerable now threatens to cast her aside. Rachel is now caught between being the protector and needing protection herself. 

Rachel adapts as her external and internal fights evolve. With a sharp mind, compassion, and enough eccentricity to keep things interesting, she fights for those who cannot fight for themselves—just as others once did for her.
