Joe Keller was a divorced, burned-out office worker waiting for a reason to get out of bed. Three hours after the pulse, his best friend is dead in his arms, his city is on fire, and the only law left is the gun in a stranger's hand.
Then, on a dead road out of the dying city, everything changes.
A sick young mother named Isabella is bleeding out in the dirt, a paring knife shaking in one hand, her baby clutched in the other. She has no medicine and no time. And she makes Joe an impossible offer. Take my daughter. Carry her across a broken continent to a rumored sanctuary in the Wyoming mountains, a place where the lights never went out. A place called The Haven. Find my friends. Tell them Isabella sent you.
Her name is Lila. She is ten months old. And she becomes the only reason Joe has left to live.
Joe is no hero. He has three bullets, a pair of dress shoes, and no idea how to keep an infant alive. He learns. He learns to read her cries, to feed her off the land, to hold her against his heart so she feels safe in the dark. Mile by mile, the lost man becomes a father.
Then the rain brings Valentina.
She is everything Joe is not. A hardened fighter, ex-military, alone and going nowhere, surviving on instinct and rage. Joe steps into the open to save her life when no one saves anyone anymore. The debt she swears to repay will bind their fates together. Across the high plains, between firefights and river crossings, two broken strangers and a baby become something neither of them dared to want again.
A family.
But two thousand miles of warlords, burning towns, and starving men stand between them and The Haven. And the safest place in a fallen world is also the most hunted. Reaching the walls is only the beginning. Holding them will cost everything.
