A Marine. A survivor. An execution order. And the question of what you can live with.
In the shadow of America’s second civil war, the woman known as the Raven is being hunted for murder.
The Raven—Rachel Waterman—survived a U.S. detention camp called True North. She escaped by killing the guard who raped her.
To U.S. Marine Captain Chet Miller, the Raven is the woman who murdered his best friend. He tracks her across the scarred Pacific Northwest, expecting an easy hunt.
But the Raven has vanished into an off-grid sanctuary where survivors of the war are trying to build something almost impossible: a life after everything they’ve done.
As Chet closes in, the lines between enemy and survivor blur. The woman he came to confront may not be the monster he imagined—and the man he believed he was may no longer exist.
In a nation fractured by war, the hardest thing to face isn’t the enemy—it’s the person you’ve become.
In the tradition of Omar El Akkad’s American War and Alex Garland's film Civil War—a journey through a morally fractured country, toward something that might be hope.
