The unlikely survivors are finally able to escape Los Angeles amid disaster and turmoil, but their path is anything but straight. After being derailed by an ambush that strands them outside of a small town run by an abusive tyrant, the group finds a large abandoned home hidden in the woods. Missy, still not healed from her wounds, convinces the group that this would make a suitable place to ride out the storm and hide until things blow over and life returns to normal. But are they delusional in thinking things will ever go back to the way they were? When desperation drives a familiar face out of the Los Angeles valley and straight into their path, all hell breaks loose once again.

"This sequel to the original gave me a feeling of being back with old friends in troubled times. This is a series well worth the read."
- Sherman Hutchinson, Verathane Books

"This series is quickly shaping up to be one of my favorite post-apocalyptic book series from an unknown author. Everything feels so real, it's as if I'm standing there on the brink of disaster with them, looking to Missy for guidance just to stay alive."
