★ ...it's the depth and beauty of Barker's writing that makes Rachel's and Chet's storylines so compelling. -Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
...wows with riveting action and philosophical insight... A chilling portrait of American strife that feels disturbingly plausible. -BookLife Reviews (Editor's Pick)
In a nation fractured by war, the hardest thing to face isn't the enemy-it's the person you've become.
In a near-future America torn apart by a second civil war, Rachel Waterman-known as the Raven-is being hunted for murder. She survived a military detainment facility called True North, and she got out the only way she could. Now she's found something she never expected: a community of survivors trying to build a life in a hidden, off-grid sanctuary.
U.S. Marine Captain Chet Miller doesn't see the Raven as a survivor. She's the woman who killed the man he considered a brother.
Tracking her across the scarred wilderness of the Pacific Northwest, Chet expects an easy hunt. But as he closes in, the lines between enemy and survivor start to blur. The woman he came to confront carries a trauma that mirrors his own-and the man he believed he was may no longer exist.
For readers who want the emotional weight of The Women, the haunting humanity of The Dog Stars, and a heart-pounding fight for something worth saving.
