Aftar the Hush

By Henry Brown

After the Hush
A Novel of Survival and Defiance

They came in silence. They burned the towns. They erased the names.
But in the deep woods of the North, one camp dared to speak again.

Cal Mercer thought he'd seen the worst of the world after it fell. Until the Gray Men arrived - an enemy not driven by greed, but by a cold, brutal ideology: silence or destruction.

When Cal stumbles across a hidden settlement rebuilding from the ashes, he's drawn into a fragile community led by a quiet teacher with a fire in her heart, a hardened soldier with secrets, and a group of outcasts who refuse to be erased. Together, they write a new charter. A new beginning.

But the Gray Men are watching. And they've given them a deadline.

With war looming, Cal and his new allies must choose: vanish into the forest like so many before them... or stand and fight for the right to be heard.

After the Hush is a gripping, atmospheric survival novel about found family, quiet rebellion, and the power of story in a world that wants to forget.
