A Paradise Gone Dark

The lights went out all over the world. They are never coming back on.

When an electromagnetic pulse silences every machine on Earth, the remote tropical island of Monarch Isle becomes a prison. The pirates known as the Raiders seize the sea lanes, and their cold, untouchable lord, Ragnar, rules through tribute, fear, and the blade of his executioner, the Judge.

For four years, twenty-three-year-old Philip has watched his father keep a fragile peace by teaching their people to kneel. Then a rebellion goes wrong, and Ragnar makes Philip watch as everything he loves is taken in the dirt of his own farm.

Armed with his murdered father's hidden Magnum revolver and just one bullet, Philip flees into the jungle with the entire pirate army hunting him. To free his island, he must survive the wild, gather the scattered and the broken, win the heart of a fierce woman named Petra, and forge a hunted people into something that can finally make a tyrant bleed.

But the road to freedom runs through a single circle of sand, where one man with a blade must face the lord of the Roost, and only one will walk away.

What readers will find inside:

• A relentless EMP survival saga that follows one man from helpless witness to the leader of a desperate resistance war
• A brutal, intelligent villain whose every move is a trap, set against a hero who refuses to become the thing he is fighting
• A sweeping love story and a found family forged in the ashes of a fallen world, with a finale that will break your heart and leave you breathless
• Heart-pounding jungle survival, guerrilla warfare, and a climactic duel that decides the fate of an entire island

Fans of One Second After, The Road, and Lord of the Flies will be swept into this unforgettable story of grief, courage, love, and the light that even the deepest darkness cannot extinguish.

How far would you go to take back paradise?
