Life After War

Adrian is an alpha descendant with gifts that allow him to call and charm others like himself. After the apocalypse, caused by his father, Adrian is charged with gathering all free descendants in America for the remaining government. Instead, the Marine forms Safe Haven Refugee Camp and creates a dream that even his betrayals can’t crush. “This is Safe Haven Refugee Camp. Is anyone alive out there? …hello?”

The fall of society triggered a hard, new life where survival became the only focus. We shunned each other and the old ways, killing anyone who was different. We reverted to primitive behaviors, using the war as an excuse to commit unspeakable atrocities, and humanity slipped deeper into the abyss of possible extinction. Soon, darkness blanketed the post-apocalyptic lands with hatred and violence that seemed to have no end. The future, cold and dark, offered little hope.

Three months after the nuclear world war that turned America into a dangerous wasteland, Safe Haven has made it from California to South Dakota. Adrian now has six of the seven gifted people he needs to ensure the survival of their country. However, not everyone can handle Adrian’s version of safety - including some of his closest people. The refugee camp begins to rip apart, when Angela joins the Eagles, allowing a dangerous enemy to get too close.

Adrian will soon discover if the choices he’s made have cost him a son. Even Angela can’t be sure. Neither can any of the others like her. The power of the descendants is growing, and so is Safe Haven's awareness of having magic in their midst. Angela is no longer the only seer in Adrian’s camp of survivors…if she ever was.

Safe Haven has grown too powerful to be ignored. The remaining government wants all survivors secured for their own use or eliminated, and they couldn't have chosen a better time to reemerge from their dystopian holes. Safe Haven has a new leader and a long list of challenges to overcome in their fight for survival. Adrian's condition is critical, the camp isn't ready to accept magic, Mother Nature still has them in her crosshairs, and they are low on food, water, and fuel. The next eight weeks will be the hardest they've gone through yet. Can they bring the pieces together in time?

Angela has moved Safe Haven to the apocalyptic Mountains of Georgia to make their stand. She has put a plan in motion that will free them or get them all killed. For her, everything since the apocalypse has come down to this moment. It’s what she’s been training for, what the Eagles have tried to prepare her for, but only fate knows if it will be enough.

Safe Haven is going to try a permanent settlement in Georgia. Every soul in their camp is ready for the break. They have traveled for more than nine months since the apocalypse. Now, they can finally quit living out of trucks and try to rebuild what they’ve lost. The promised luxuries the descendants are going to exhume from the ashes of society will make life once again enjoyable. Except…more horror is coming.

We were supposed to have a home now, with walls and floors. The constant traveling and trying to outrun death was going to be over. We were about to build a life that resembled what we lost—full of peace and the pursuit of happiness. We’d earned it. Then, all of the dreams that held us through the nightmares shattered against the stone.

Safe Haven has been hit with awful blows since the war. They’ve been stalked, burned, shaken, shot, and betrayed so much that it’s now impossible to tell friends from enemies. Assassins and traitors have ruined the fragile peace, and personal dramas have weakened the dream of rebuilding a society of love and light. Surrounded by dangerous people and running low on supplies, the situation was already bleak when the camp arrived at that cursed mountain to make their settlement. Five hundred survivors crammed into the tunnels, hoping to be protected. They weren’t.
