About this ebook
Some things are worth fighting for. Some things are worth dying for. The hard part is knowing which.
Spring has come to Kettle Falls. So has the Regional Authority.
They've survived the winter. They've built something real — a network, a community, a life that none of them planned and all of them chose. Mabel chose it. Eli chose it. Caleb found his first friend here, his first reason to stay anywhere since before his mother died. Even Rook has decided this is home.
But the authority has an offer on the table. Eli cooperates, and the county gets left alone. It sounds like survival. Mabel and Eli both know it's a trap. And the clock is running out on the time they have to find another way.
The last road out is the road Mabel has been running her whole life — away from connection, away from risk, away from everything that could be taken. She's done running. What they've built here is worth standing for. The question is what standing will cost, and whether the people she loves will still be standing when it's over.
"This series feels like a warm fire in a cold world. I didn't want to leave the county." – Ashley McClannahan
