Hope, a small-town mechanic drowning in debt, never imagined becoming a wartime leader. But when North Korea invades, she must risk everything—including her humanity. It started as a camping trip. Just two twenty-something cousins relaxing in the Pacific Northwest wilderness. But when Hope Wilkins and her cousin Sonya return to their Oregon home, they find North Korean soldiers patrolling the roads, the towns cold and dark, people hiding in their homes—and their families missing. There’s been an invasion. Confused and full of questions, Hope and Sonya round up a few neighbors, head back into the hills, and wait for the military to save them. Except no one comes for them. There is no government here, no military. Not anymore. What’s a girl to do? Searching for their friends and families, this small band heads deep into the Willamette Valley—where they accidentally start an uprising they can’t, and won’t, walk away from. Because strong women never back down. TW for scenes of child death and SA "I have never been a fan of apocalyptic/doomsday kind of stories.... When I tell you I regret NOTHING I mean it!!" - Caitlyn Strubinger-Campbell "The main character, Hope, is one of the most relatable protagonists I have read in dystopian fantasy in a very long time." - MJ Guzman "My favorite thing about this book is all the sarcasm, real world relatable women problems (think bras, periods, your favorite pants)." - Olia "This book is an absolute must read!" - Tania Baghdanov "It was descriptive and the world-building/character building, despite it being written in the real world, just a dystopian war-ravaged version of it, was phenomenal!" - Ashley Young
