Forged In Darkness

For Sloane, life in the rural countryside was defined by the predictable routine of her marriage to Dean, a man prepared for the absolute worst. When the power grid failed and the world collapsed into a desperate silence, Dean's foresight became the foundation of their new reality. Surrounded by family and friends, their small, tight knit community, with the power of common knowledge must prepare for the brutal winter.

But peace is a luxury the dying can't afford.

The communities safety is violently shattered when a large, starving, desperate group of raiders stumble across their wooded oasis. In the chaos, Sloane's entire world crumbles around her. Her husband, Dean is murdered. Her valuable knowledge gets her a one way ticket to their camp in their sick hopes of surviving the winter.

When hope seems lost will she make it home?

Will they survive the winter?

Who will lead their community?

Will they be forged by the worldwide blackout or will they crumble?

Sloane must find the steel in her soul to forge into the leader, soldier, and survivalist Dean would've wanted her to be.
