Fourteen months after the grid died, Kale Griffith is alone in the Alaskan interior with six arrows and a snare line. Six arrows are all he will ever have. He counts them every time he picks up the quiver.
Then he sees smoke where no one should be.
Ty Durdick is an ex-Marine hunting the last working cell tower in Alaska, sent by the commanding officer who once saved his life. Amanda Kyler is nineteen, half-starved, and flying a bald eagle named Zephyr that she was forced to use as a hunting tool for the men who caged them both.
What they uncover is worse than raiders. A warlord named Greg Unach doesn't want to survive the collapse. He wants to be the only voice left in a silent state, and he has nine days to prove it.
Four survivors. One bird. One tower.
And a lie that only works once.
