The West Coast didn't fall like the rest of America. Out in rural Washington, the dead came slower, and Ashley's family had just enough warning to build something no one else had: a fortified island sanctuary. Safe. Hidden. Alive.
But safety never lasts forever.
When the radios crackle to life, Ashley and her best friend Stacie hear whispers of survivors and untouched resources down south. Leaving the island means risking everything-but it also means crossing paths with people who might change everything.
Strangers who could become enemies.
Strangers who could become something more.
As the tides shift, Ashley must decide who to trust, who to fight, and who to let into her heart-before the world takes it all away.
