★★★★★ "From the plot itself, to the political points, to the realistic drama with other survivors, I felt like all of this could really be happening," - Katie, ARC Reviewer He came home searching for peace. What he got was the end of the world. Quinn Cozens, a hard-hitting sports writer with more enemies than friends, just wants to escape the noise. But a sudden, coordinated attack turns his hometown into ground zero for an apocalypse. Caught in the chaos is Yui, a sharp-tongued K-pop idol with a secret past and everything to lose. ★★★★★ "What an incredible story of survival." - Lisa, ARC Reviewer Quinn saves her life during the attack, but survival comes at a cost. Hunted by brutal enemies, the two are forced into a fragile alliance. Each carries scars, hides truths, and in a world turned upside down, trust may be more dangerous than bullets. Disclaimer: This series contains strong political themes. It ain’t for Marxists, socialists, theocrats, neocons, whiners, the far-Left, the far-Right, or people who ace books on Goodreads because they read a sentence that hurt their feelings. But if you’re sick of propaganda-laced fiction that follows the rules of the state, the gatekeepers, and the genre police, you’re in the right place. ★★★★★ "The blend of realism and subtle spiritual undertones gives it something special, something that lingers even after you close the book." - Shey Saints, ARC Reviewer
