The Dark We Seek

“Kyla Stone is a commanding and masterful storyteller.” -Franklin Horton, author of The Borrowed World series

The solar storm devastated the world. The real danger is just beginning.
With the power grid down, cell service gone, and supply chains shattered, the rural towns of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula teeter on the brink.

Sheriff Jackson Cross struggles to hold the line when Sawyer, a ruthless criminal mastermind, and the armed thugs he commands set their sights on Munising. They’re watching. Waiting. Testing the town’s defenses. Jackson knows what’s coming, and they’re not ready. He must decide how far he’s willing to go—and what he’s willing to sacrifice—when the rule of law fails.

For Shiloh Easton, survival came at a cost. Her grandfather was murdered. Her brother is gone forever. Though the man who terrorized her is dead, the nightmares linger. Her aunt Lena and her rescue dog Bear promise to help her heal. But Lena is a Type 1 diabetic, and the insulin she needs to survive is nearly gone. Lena is running out of choices—and time.

Eli Pope brought Shiloh home safely, but freedom hasn’t granted him peace. The town still sees a killer. Jackson doesn’t trust him. Lena barely looks at him. When another body is found—staged and mutilated—Eli realizes the truth: a serial killer hunts among them. And he’s hiding inside Sawyer’s crew. To stop him, Eli must go undercover to live among monsters. The deeper he goes, the more he risks losing the last piece of himself that’s still human.

Sometimes the only way to survive is to become the thing you fear.
