Advance Reader Copy

Blurb

As the world falls apart, one woman must do whatever it takes to protect her family…

Fleeing a devastated California, Claire and her family secure passage aboard a ferry bound for the safe haven of Seattle, Washington. But conditions on the boat are little better than the chaos they are running from. Desperate souls, dwindling supplies, and over-zealous National Guard troops form a powder keg that threatens to ignite in violence at any moment.

But heavy handed soldiers are nothing compared to the danger lurking in the shadows. Hired by the wealthy and ruthless Hartley family, the sinister mercenary known as The Architect has one job: retrieve Lydia and her unborn child and return them to the family.

When a raging storm separates the group, Claire fears the worst for Lydia. Because if the Hartley’s manage to get their claws on her, she may truly be out of reach.

And this time, there will be no escape…

Author

Grace Hamilton is the prepper pen-name for a bad-ass, survivalist momma-bear of four kids, and wife to a wonderful husband. After being stuck in a mountain cabin for six days following a flash flood, she decided she never wanted to feel so powerless or have to send her kids to bed hungry again. Now she lives the prepper lifestyle and knows that if SHTF or TEOTWAWKI happens, she’ll be ready to help protect and provide for her family.

Combine this survivalist mentality with a vivid imagination (as well as a slightly unhealthy day dreaming habit) and you get a prepper fiction author. Grace spends her days thinking about the worst possible survival situations that a person could be thrown into, then throwing her characters into these nightmares while trying to figure out "What SHOULD you do in this situation?"

It’s her wish that through her characters, you will get to experience what life will be like and essentially learn from their mistakes and experiences.
