Society is gone. Darkness falls. But family endures…
Laurel was working in the ER, stabilizing a patient, when the unthinkable happened. An EMP hit. The power went out. And it never came back. In the devastating aftermath, she must turn South Minneha Hospital into a place of refuge, a beacon of hope for her fellow survivors. But a beacon attracts predators, too…
Predators like Arlo Staaf, the brutal leader of a ruthless gang. Desperate to save his dying son, Arlo takes over the hospital and gives Laurel an impossible ultimatum: save his terminally ill boy, or watch everyone she cares for die.
Meanwhile, her husband Bear prepares in a remote wilderness cabin, alone save for his loyal dog, Jessamine. War and PTSD have cost him everything. But with the old world gone, he gains a new purpose. Laurel is hundreds of miles away from his mountain retreat. But he knows she needs him now, more than ever.
Navigating through the ruins of a world gone mad, Bear must face treachery, desperation, and endless miles of unforgiving wilderness. But he’ll do whatever it takes to reunite his family.
As the first winter storm blows in, Bear and Laurel face their greatest challenge yet—survival. But they’ll face it together…
