The Undermining of Twyla and Frank BY Megan Bannen

In "The Marshals of Eternity," author C.C. Berke introduces readers to Twyla Banneker, a widowed middle-aged woman who surprises her town of Eternity by teaming up with her best friend and neighbor, Frank Ellis, to join the Tanrian Marshals. What begins as an unexpected career shift for Twyla becomes a fulfilling adventure in the fantastical world of Tanria, filled with demigods and donuts.

Eight years into their partnership, Twyla finds satisfaction in patrolling Tanria, a refreshing change from her previous life as a stay-at-home mom, despite her children's initial reservations. However, their routine takes a thrilling turn when they stumble upon the body of a fellow marshal near a colossal footprint, and Frank unexpectedly becomes the caretaker of a baby dragon.

As they delve deeper into the mystery, Twyla and Frank uncover a sinister plot that extends beyond the lucrative mines of Tanria. The investigation rekindles the excitement they've been missing, but it also complicates their long-standing friendship. Twyla begins to question whether her true soul mate might actually be the person who has been by her side all along—Frank.

"The Marshals of Eternity" blends heartwarming fantasy with a delightful best friends-to-lovers rom-com twist, weaving together humor, adventure, and a touch of whimsy against the backdrop of a vibrant and magical world. Berke crafts a tale that not only explores the complexities of relationships and personal growth but also celebrates the bonds of friendship and the unexpected journeys life can take us on.
