Seven years after the world fell to the Rotters, Ashwick has become a fragile haven: fences high, leaders polished, a town rebuilt on order and trust. But beneath the neat routines, something is wrong. People vanish, Questions are met with lies, and danger doesn't only claw from outside the walls.
Mac Calder knows this better than anyone. Head of patrol, she's stoic, scarred, and untouchable, until the Quinn family arrives. For most, they're just newcomers. For Mac, Harper Quinn is a Compassionate, stubborn, and far too tempting, for someone like Mac, who swore she doesn't do feelings.
Harper only wanted safety for her siblings. Instead, she's caught between a town with secrets, a world full of Rotters, and the pull of the one woman she definitely shouldn't want.
Until the tension threatens to burn them both alive.
In Ashwick, survival is everything. But between buried lies, hungry monsters, and a slow-burn sapphic desire neither can control, survival might not be enough, especially when gay panic hits harder than the end of the world.
And remember: even at the end of the world, love is what remains.
