Trilogy Synopsis:
When a catastrophic quake shatters the underground colony of New Appalachia, Dee McTavish is thrown into a brutal wasteland she was taught never existed. Cut off from everything she’s ever known, she clings to one belief—that it’s her duty to save her people. But out here, where survival has no rule book, Dee will face truths that make her question not just her mission, but the very foundation of the world she thought she understood.
Back in the crumbling colony, her younger brother Jack is drowning in responsibilities he never asked for. Their father lies comatose, society is fracturing at the seams, and every choice feels like the wrong one. Jack isn’t a leader—he knows that—but as the walls close in, no one else is stepping up. If he can’t, everything might fall apart for good.
Dr. Roger Montgomery has always been the man people count on—chief surgeon, problem solver, the steady hand in a crisis. But beneath the surface, he’s unraveling. Addiction digs its claws deeper with every life he can’t save, every choice he can’t face. As the colony descends into chaos, Roger’s greatest battle isn’t with the dying, it’s with himself.
And somewhere in the shadows of this collapse, Lt. Col. Mahira Farooq is done pretending. Trapped in a loveless marriage and suffocating under the weight of duty, she makes a decision that could either save her children, or doom what’s left of their fragile sanctuary. Freedom has a price, and Mahira’s about to find out just how high it really is.
Their lives shouldn’t intersect. But fate doesn’t care about should. As New Appalachia teeters on the brink, Dee, Jack, Roger, and Mahira are bound by threads of loyalty, betrayal, and choices that can’t be undone. In a world that’s already falling apart, it’s not just survival on the line, it’s who they’ll become when there’s nothing left to hold on to.
