Civil morality ends when survival is on the line. After a meteorite disaster shatters civilization, Earth is ruled by ruthless Corporates, fearsome mercenary armies, and the shadow of extinction. Amid the chaos, sisters Jillian and Ariel Delano cling to survival in the ruins of Denver, haunted by their father’s death and a cryptic message that promises hope — or doom. A mysterious “invitation” draws them to a secret meeting, where whispers of salvation echo through the broken city. When their father’s handwriting resurfaces from beyond the grave, it confirms their darkest fears and their brightest chance at escape. Unaware they’re walking into the heart of a plan generations in the making, the sisters set out on a journey to Breckenridge to find the hidden sanctuary. But salvation comes at a price. Behind every act of mercy lies control, and behind every promise of peace, a secret buried in blood. As Jillian’s path crosses with the enigmatic Defender Grayson Takota , loyalties blur, love ignites in the ashes, and morality bends beneath the crushing weight of survival. From the shadows of collapsing cities to the tunnels of Colorado’s mountains, Sins of Survival is a kind of mystery thriller that chants a haunting tale of courage, deception, and human endurance. It’s a world where science and secrecy collide, where heroes become sinners, and where survival itself may be the most unforgivable sin of all. Book One of the From Darkness series — a heart-pounding blend of science fiction, mystery, and forbidden love. For the fans of post-apocalyptic fiction novels, it’s nothing short of a treat to devour. Dee. A great read Great book from a first-time author. Having been through the Eisenhower tunnel many times I could see where this could take place. I couldn't wait to get from chapter to chapter. BDW. Can't wait for the next book from this author Great book from a first-time author. Having been through the Eisenhower tunnel many times I could see where this could take place. I couldn't wait to get from chapter to chapter. Smegge. Can't stop reading. Captivated from the beginning through the end. One of those books you can't put down. Has a blend of Veronica Roth's Divergent series, Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged, and other authors who have deeply researched and written page-turning stories. I'm looking forward to the continuation of this come-to-life tale. Naomi. On the edge of my seat I love how Roxanne Ward has created this world set in a post-apocalyptic setting, where the sliver of life as we know it hangs in the balance. Her writing draws you in, you're able to quickly connect with the characters. There are family ties, romance, and suspense. You won't be able to put this book down! The best part, the book leaves off with just enough of a cliffhanger that you're satisfied with the end, but want more. Looking forward to what Roxanne Ward comes out with next! Russ. Has something for everyone An incredible book. If you like action, it has it. Romance? It has it. Dystopian survival? Yep. What an ingenious use of what may actually happen if all goes awry in the world. Like most authors, reading and writing are Roxanne's passions. She was heavily influenced by her father, a college administrator, with a love of literature and a fascination with science. Her mother was a college instructor with a creative spirit sharing many hands-on experiences in art and nature. She joined the Air Force Reserves and met her husband while working on the same aircraft. She earned her MS in education from the University of Idaho and was hired as a middle school teacher where she taught language arts and science until she retired in the summer of 2019. Though anxious to write her first book, she took on the task of tutoring her granddaughter during Covid until her school reopened. Northern Idaho has been her home for over three decades. She and her husband live a blessed life on five acres with their border terrier Nikki.
