They went searching for their daughter. They found a civil war...
Dr. Laurel Rivera and her husband Bear Peterson are finally reunited, but South Minneha Hospital is no longer the sanctuary it once was. Together, they set out on a new mission: to find their daughter, Mae. With Trent and Jess at their side, they say goodbye to their friends and leave behind the fragile safety of South Minneha and step into a world without maps, phones, or answers. All they know is that Sergeant Mae Petersen was serving in the U.S. Army when the EMP struck-and tracking one soldier through the ruins of America will take nothing short of a miracle. But the world has grown more dangerous in their absence. Ragtag gangs have hardened into paramilitary forces. The land ahead is split between two warring factions: the Militia and the Freemen. Tensions are rising, sides are being chosen, and survival is no longer about scavenging food-it's about avoiding the crossfire. If Laurel and Bear want to bring their family back together, they'll have to walk straight into the heart of a war... and pray they don't lose each other all over again. Expanded and republished in February 2026, Divided World is more compelling than ever-don't miss this thrilling tale of a post-apocalyptic society.
