Two weeks after an EMP plunges America into darkness, iron hardened rancher Holt McClandrey believes his family is safe in their Colorado valley. The Lazy River Ranch has water, cattle, grain, and good high ground. It has everything a man needs to outlast the end of the world.
It has everything the wrong people want to take.
Frances Smith rules a growing army with her comatose husband's fortune and an iron will. She has convicts, drifters, and the Doves, a unit of cold female killers who torture for pleasure. She wants Holt's valley, his cattle, and his food. She will trade his children like poker chips to get them.
Holt has made a personal promise to defend his home at all costs. He has his oldest son Tiger, a boy becoming a man in fire. He has Bear, a Ute marksman whose loyalty runs deeper than blood. He has ranch hands who will not run.
But loyalty gets tested. A spy walks through the gate. A hunter comes home butchered. And when Frances throws everything she has at the walls, the Lazy River learns what holding your ground really costs.
This is survival at its rawest. Family, faith, and firepower against an enemy who shows no mercy.
The fight for the ranch is only the beginning.
