About the book
“Look at me, Lionheart. They don’t get to take you from me too... I know you’re afraid, but stay with me, and I swear to you, there isn’t a force alive that will keep me from tearing them apart for this.”
In a world torn apart by civil war and disease, a nomad with nothing left to lose, Aylena Abeba, is forced into military service and thrown into The Grounding: a brutal training program where survival is anything but guaranteed.
But Aylena is not like the others.
She hides dangerous psychic abilities that let her feel what others can’t, know what others don’t, hear what others aren’t, and survive what others won’t. In a war built on control and deception, her abilities could change everything… if only she survives.
Aylena must learn to trust herself, her gifts, and the very people she was taught to keep at a distance, including enigmatic fellow soldier, Elan. Drawn to him in ways she can’t explain, Aylena begins to question everything—the truth about the world she’s fighting for, the war, and the role she’s meant to play in saving them all.
You’ll Never Be Ready For War is the first book in a gripping fantasy series of self-discovery, undeniable destiny, and magnetic romance—perfect for readers who crave powerful heroines, high-stakes, and stories where resilient women begin revolutions.

ABOUT ME
Hi, I'm Sabrina!
Sabrina Suarez is a writer drawn to stories that challenge power, question societal norms, encourage empathy, and explore what it means to remain human in complex systems. Her work explores identity, resilience, and the cost of becoming who you are meant to be in worlds that demand so much from you. Central to her storytelling is a fascination with leadership, legacy, and the ways matriarchal and patriarchal approaches to power shape civilizations. Sabrina invites readers to look beyond the page and consider their own beliefs, choices, and role in shaping the future.
Her debut saga began as a vivid dream and took shape during politically tumultuous times, inspired by questions about government power, navigating fear, processing loss, emotional expression, and spirituality.
When she is not writing, Sabrina builds creative ventures through Sabiartistry LLC, helps humans heal through relational therapy, snuggles her daughter, and immerses herself in the appreciation of storytelling. She lives in the United States and continues to expand her ongoing saga, creating worlds that are invitations to imagine something better.

Don't worry, you won't need to skip every chapter. The romance is slow-burn first, spice second. While there is one intimate scene, it's tastefully written and serves the characters' emotional journey rather than overshadowing the story. If you're tired of books where the characters spend more time taking off their clothes than saving the world, you've found your people. We're here for the tension, the longing, emotional depth of a true fated love match.

You'll Never Be Ready For War is written for readers who love YA and New Adult dystopian fantasy. It features mature themes, violence associated with war, and emotional intensity while remaining character-driven.
No! You'll Never Be Ready For War is the first installment in a trilogy and the perfect place to begin.
Before Aylena ever existed, there was a girl who needed an escape.
As a teenager growing up in an unsafe and chaotic home, books became my refuge. When the world around me felt overwhelming, stories gave me somewhere else to go. They reminded me that even in the darkest circumstances, there could still be hope, courage, connection, and a version of yourself you hadn't discovered yet.
I fell in love with what a book could do. How a story could become a doorway into another world. It could help you feel seen, help you imagine something different, and help you find strength when you needed it most.
You'll Never Be Ready For War began as a dream, but underneath the fantasy, the war, and the impossible choices was a deeper question: What happens when people stop accepting the world they've inherited and start fighting for the world they believe is possible?
This story was born from imagining an alternate future where a global pandemic spiraled into something far more devastating. A world where fear was used as a tool for control, where generations later humanity was left to survive the consequences of those choices.
But this isn't just a story about a broken world.
It's a story about the people who refuse to let that brokenness define them.
At its heart, this series explores power, resilience, identity, and the courage it takes to imagine a different future. While the first book examines the consequences of a world built around control and dominance, the books that follow explore what becomes possible when we choose a different path—one rooted in community, connection, empathy, and a more balanced understanding of strength.
My hope is that readers don't just escape into this world. I hope they leave it seeing their own world—and themselves—a little differently.
The world is broken.
The fight is just beginning.
