Where the Lion Roars
Love, Hope & Faith Christian Readers’ Choice Award Winner – Women’s Fiction
A story of faith in the fire, and love in the silence.
After the sudden and mysterious death of her husband, Asja retreats to the wild heart of South Africa—haunted by grief, tormented by questions, and desperate to hear God in the silence. But the deeper into the bush she goes, the more danger she encounters—and the more her fragile faith is tested.
Where the Lion Roars is a soul-stirring journey of loss, redemption, and quiet courage. Asja’s story is one of deep wrestling and powerful grace, where the wilderness becomes both battleground and sanctuary. With themes of identity, justice, and restoration, this novel offers a poignant reminder: even in our most broken moments, God is still present, still speaking, still roaring.
For readers who long for beauty from ashes, this is a novel that will stay with you long after the final page.
“Every emotion is poured into each character with so much depth. A page turner that has you on the edge of your seat with every sentence. ”
