The Endarkened: Book Eleven in The Borrowed World Series

The eleventh book in The Borrowed World series. The series, which began in 2015, has expanded to include two spin-off series and over two dozen books, with over one million copies sold. Nearly eighteen months after a widespread power outage, Jim Powell's community has stabilized. The Reset Roadhouse—Jim's bar, restaurant, and trading post—has become a community hub, providing work and expanding his network while allowing him to monitor local activity. This equilibrium shifts when electricity becomes available again. President Walter Lightspeed has promised to restore power to the nation and appears to be delivering on that commitment. However, the implications for small-town America remain unclear. Residents face questions about surrendering weapons and returning to previous ways of life, but these concerns fade as people focus on the possibility of normalcy returning. Whether that normalcy will actually materialize remains uncertain.
