When the lights die, the real monsters aren't in the dark. They're the men who were your neighbors.
Jeffrey Jeff Lowe built everything with his own two hands. A homestead outside the small Utah town of Kittredge. A well. A garden. Four daughters and a wife he'd walk into hell for.
Then one clear morning, the sky flashes white, every car on Main Street rolls to a stop, and the modern world simply ends.
An EMP has crippled the nation. The grid is gone. The phones are dead. And the lights are never coming back on.
Salt Lake City falls under martial law. But the soldiers never reach Kittredge. Out here, martial law doesn't need an army. It needs one ambitious man with a title and a grudge.
Mayor Larry Issaquah has waited his whole small life for a day when the rules stop applying. Now that day has come. He has the deputies. He has the sheriff, Zachary Saunders, and his rifle. He has the only food left in the valley. And he has a score to settle with the one man proud enough to say no.
Jeff Lowe.
As Mayor Issaquah tightens his grip, registering guns, seizing trucks, controlling every mouthful of food, Jeff must protect his family and a valley full of terrified neighbors. He'll have to trust a deputy who switched sides, an old friend hungry for revenge, and Timothy, his daughter's arrogant city boyfriend who doesn't know one end of a rifle from the other.
Two men who can't stand each other. One dark valley. And a fight that will cost more than either of them ever imagined.
But Kittredge is only the beginning. Because the darkness didn't fall by accident. Something planned this. Something is gathering the fallen tyrants of a hundred broken towns.
And it's coming for anyone who refuses to kneel.Also from
