Our sun gives life and takes it away. Nature has no mercy. A CME strands children in a dangerous place with a chaperone who will do anything to save them.
A catastrophic solar storm collapses the power grid. The aftermath leaves a group of eighth‑grade girls and their chaperones stranded far from home in the rugged, unforgiving Northwest backcountry. To keep the group alive, chaperone Cole Gerringer confronts danger that could end in her death.
With no rescue coming and no working communications, an abandoned dog and a handful of adults on the trip are tasked with protecting terrified children in a wilderness that’s become a hunting ground. Hiding in the shadows and waiting for an opportunity, something is stalking their every move. Cole fights to control herself as panic swells into barely controlled terror.
But with the civilized world collapsing and weary refugees fleeing into the wilderness, can Cole and her allies keep everyone safe as they’re swept into a desperate struggle to survive?
The Chaperone launches the Superstorm series with a pulse‑pounding blend of survival, suspense, and human resilience as society collapses in real time. If you’re drawn to relentless tension, explosive twists, and people pushed to the edge of endurance, this gripping series starter will keep you turning pages long into the night.
Buy The Chaperone today and step into a wilderness where danger is around every corner and where loyalty and love struggle to triumph.
