After years of surviving her powerful husband's abuse, she takes her daughter, Maddie, and disappears into the dense wilderness of Michigan's Upper Peninsula, praying the isolation will keep them safe. But just as she begins to hope for a new beginning, the world burns. Without warning, deadly machines fall from the sky, ruthless and unstoppable, slaughtering humanity without mercy. Civilization crumbles overnight. And Evelyn, a woman who spent her life saving others, is suddenly powerless to protect the one person who matters most. Then she meets Alex.

Alongside Alex's family, they flee to a remote island, a desperate gamble for safety in a world that has none left. As danger closes in from every direction, Evelyn and Alex find themselves fighting side by side, relying on each other in ways neither expected. But survival isn't just about staying alive-it's about finding something worth living for. And out here, in the wilderness and the wreckage, love might be the last thing left standing.

**COMPLETED** Several years after the world succumbed to a deadly strain of measles that turned those infected into crazed, mindless cannibals, Charlotte wanders the backroads alone, content with surviving day-to-day. That is until she crosses paths with Nate and his daughter, Emmi. Emmi is not and cannot be vaccinated against the disease, so the only way to protect her and give her some kind of life is to reunite her with her estranged mother in a quarantine zone on the other side of the country. Charlotte wants nothing to do with Nate or the girl who looks like her dead sister. She does not want to go through the grief of losing people again if something bad was to happen. And something bad does happen when Emmi is kidnapped, and it is no one's fault but Charlotte's. Through this obligation alone, Charlotte feels like it is her responsibility to get Emmi back, to right her wrong. In helping Nate pursue his kidnapped daughter, Charlotte inadvertently allows herself to feel again, to care for those other than herself. But with the clock ticking, Charlotte's new found family may just end up like her own, dead and destroyed, if Emmi is exposed to the disease that her father tried so hard to protect her from.
