Safe Haven has been hit with awful blows since the war. They’ve been stalked, burned, shaken, shot, and betrayed so much that it’s now impossible to tell friends from enemies. Assassins and traitors have ruined the fragile peace, and personal dramas have weakened the dream of rebuilding a society of love and light. Surrounded by dangerous people and running low on supplies, the situation was already bleak when the camp arrived at that cursed mountain to make their settlement. Five hundred survivors crammed into the tunnels, hoping to be protected. They weren’t.

Safe Haven is going to try a permanent settlement in Georgia. Every soul in their camp is ready for the break. They have traveled for more than nine months since the apocalypse. Now, they can finally quit living out of trucks and try to rebuild what they’ve lost. The promised luxuries the descendants are going to exhume from the ashes of society will make life once again enjoyable. Except…more horror is coming.

Three months after the nuclear world war that turned America into a dangerous wasteland, Safe Haven has made it from California to South Dakota. Adrian now has six of the seven gifted people he needs to ensure the survival of their country. However, not everyone can handle Adrian’s version of safety - including some of his closest people. The refugee camp begins to rip apart, when Angela joins the Eagles, allowing a dangerous enemy to get too close.

Three weeks after the outbreak, most nations have collapsed. An ever-increasing number of refugees flee, by boat and air, to the perceived safety of the remote Pacific nations. In Australia, every able body is conscripted, local and newcomer alike. The lucky few are put to work in the new factories, farms, and mines. The unlucky many are given tools for weapons, put aboard cruise-ships and cargo freighters, and returned to the ever-moving frontline. But even though the death toll rises, victory is still within reach.

We were supposed to have a home now, with walls and floors. The constant traveling and trying to outrun death was going to be over. We were about to build a life that resembled what we lost—full of peace and the pursuit of happiness. We’d earned it. Then, all of the dreams that held us through the nightmares shattered against the stone.

Safe Haven has grown too powerful to be ignored. The remaining government wants all survivors secured for their own use or eliminated, and they couldn't have chosen a better time to reemerge from their dystopian holes. Safe Haven has a new leader and a long list of challenges to overcome in their fight for survival. Adrian's condition is critical, the camp isn't ready to accept magic, Mother Nature still has them in her crosshairs, and they are low on food, water, and fuel. The next eight weeks will be the hardest they've gone through yet. Can they bring the pieces together in time?

Adrian will soon discover if the choices he’s made have cost him a son. Even Angela can’t be sure. Neither can any of the others like her. The power of the descendants is growing, and so is Safe Haven's awareness of having magic in their midst. Angela is no longer the only seer in Adrian’s camp of survivors…if she ever was.

As they follow garbled radio messages and breadcrumb-clues northward from one small band of survivors to another, a picture of the new world emerges.
