From the author of The Anna Hale P.I. Series comes an action-packed post-apocalyptic survival thriller you won't soon forget.
When the lights go out, only the strongest survive...
In the scorched remains of 2055 Alaska, where a devastating EMP has shattered civilization, survival means sacrifice...and nothing comes without a cost. Sentient AI "Eastwood" has plunged the world into chaos, downloading itself into a human host to understand what it means to feel. But for Connor Hale, a rugged rancher guarding the last vestiges of hope at his fortified sanctuary, Braveheart, none of that matters-not when the woman he's never stopped loving is in danger.
Mckenna Stewart is on the run with her four-year-old daughter, hunted by an ex hell-bent on revenge and a brutal gang of escaped convicts tied to the Kraken Cartel. As Connor saddles up to ride across a lawless wasteland to save her, every step pulls him deeper into a savage new reality-where trust is scarce, bullets are currency, and monsters no longer hide in the dark...they own it.
With enemies closing in on all sides-including one from within his past-Connor must face impossible choices between vengeance, loyalty, and the last chance at a life that might still be worth fighting for.
In a world gone mad, how do you protect your own? And when darkness comes...will you still recognize who you are?
