Most people look forward to the harvest, but some just want to watch it burn. With the final evacuation over, the Atlantic survivors hoped they'd found peace, but the war has followed them west. While searching for his lost vault, General Denning has laid waste to Washington State. Farms have been burned, bridges mined, and cities filled with the undead, all in pursuit of a forgotten weapons vault everyone else thinks is a myth.
Everyone except Maggs who found proof of it shortly after she arrived in the west. She and her army of Oregonian farmers have been fighting a guerrilla war against the general since March. One by one, her friends were murdered. Now, she wants revenge. As Fatima and Siobhan hunt for spies in the north, and Bran raises a militia from the farmers on Vancouver Island, Kim and Sholto search for the general and his army.
Though he is operating at the end of a very long supply chain, their resources are no more plentiful. They can afford one battle, one push, one last sacrifice in their bid to create a world safe for their family. But even if they defeat Denning, the war won't be over. The real threat is, and has always been, Dr Tippichandra and her piratical followers in Louisiana. Stopping her won't be enough, not for Detective Tom Wilgus.
Nor will revenge. He needs justice. A story of love and war, revenge and acceptance, set in a new nation being built among the ashes of the old world.
