Synopsis

Winner of the 2025 Literary Titan Award
"A pulsating masterpiece." – Readers' Favorite

He failed his own daughter. He won't fail these children.

When the plague came for his wife, Sim agreed they would all die together. He kept that promise, right up until he turned the gun on himself and couldn't pull the trigger.

Two weeks later, a little girl named Elizabeth wanders past his house. Sim opens the door.

One orphan becomes a tribe. Inside a fortified brick house on the hill, the former teacher shows the children of a dead world how to read, how to choose their own names, and how to kill. Every child who proves themselves earns a handprint on the flag above the fireplace.

The Fortress holds against every threat. Until Zagan arrives with a horde of marauders, and he wants everything Sim has built.

The kids are ready to fight. But Sim knows better than anyone what it costs to lose a child.

A brutal, heartfelt survival story and the first book in an unforgettable post-apocalyptic series. For fans of The Road and Station Eleven.
