"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.

Now he's the savior of orphans.He isn't their father. God knows he has already failed in that role. But he is their guide. And the kids They are his penance. His redemption.For three years Sim has prepared his orphans for the hard realities of life after the plague that wiped out most of the global population. Theirs is a life without laws or creature comforts. He has trained them to forage and grow their own food, to be vigilant, and to protect themselves and each other by any means necessary. In building a fortress of brick and mortar, they've become a fortress of flesh and blood.These allegiances and ideals are put to the test when a man named Zagan, who believes himself to be on a mission for the devil to bring about the destruction of civilization's remains, gathers hundreds of marauders and confronts Sim and his orphans in a merciless siege.Will the fortress hold. Or will it collapse under the pressure of evil. Seller Inventory # 9798987968406
