Perfect for you if...

  • You're drawn to high-stakes survival stories where the protagonist's grit matters more than luck or external rescue.
  • You want post-apocalyptic tension that's grounded in character trauma and personal stakes, not just infrastructure collapse.
  • You appreciate protagonists who are already broken when the story starts and have to find strength they didn't know they had.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer cosy apocalyptic fiction or stories where communities pull together to rebuild society harmoniously.
  • You're looking for a light read. This book deals heavily with captivity, abuse, and the psychological fallout of trauma.
  • You want romance to be the central plot. Though Liam appears, this is fundamentally about Avery's survival and agency, not a love story.

About this book

A super EMP destroys the nation's power grid during the deepest winter on record, plunging the country into chaos. For twenty-six-year-old Avery Sheridan, the disaster brings unexpected freedom—the EMP releases the lock of her underground prison, where she has been held captive by a sadistic psychopath for five years. Avery emerges into a hostile winter landscape with only the clothes on her back and her determination to survive. Liam Coleman, a cynical ex-soldier, believed himself prepared for any disaster until the EMP took everything he cared about. When he encounters Avery, a fierce and desperate woman who will die without help, he must choose whether to aid her. One hundred frozen miles separate them from Avery's hometown in rural Michigan, where her husband and son believe her dead. Beyond the lack of power, desperate people, and treacherous elements lies another threat: Avery's captor will not let her go. He will hunt her relentlessly, destroying anything in his way. Avery is nine months pregnant with his child.
