The grid is dead. The phones are dark. And a father is walking home through a collapsing city to a family that doesn't know if he's alive.
Crimson Sky is a character-driven family survival story set in the first thirty days after the lights go out for good - a post apocalyptic survival thriller told from inside one family, not from above the wreckage. Tuesday morning. Bacon burning. Three kids late for school. By noon the power is out, the phones are dead, and Declan Calloway is walking through a town coming apart one block at a time - toward the school where his wife and children are waiting. This isn't an apocalypse of soldiers and preppers. It's an apocalypse of neighbors. The ones who rise. The ones who don't. The fear that travels faster than any rumor, and the ordinary decency that either holds or breaks when everything that kept the modern world running stops at once. No grid. No phones. No help coming - just thirty days that decide who a person really is. Dark enough to feel real. Warm enough to live in. I couldn't put it down. The children act like children - scared but capable, who understand the danger and have faith in their parents. - Ursi, ARC reader (5 stars) I could literally feel my panic rising as events unfolded. An eerie foretelling of a coming apocalypse - chillingly realistic. - Tahmyrah, ARC reader (4 stars) For readers of Kyla Stone's Edge of Collapse - and for anyone who loved the dread of One Second After but wanted more heart and less hardware, or the quiet, human collapse of Station Eleven and The Road. Crimson Sky is Book One of The World It Left - a post-apocalyptic series about the people the disaster leaves behind. The collapse is only the beginning.
