The Last Sanctuary: An Apocalyptic Survival Thriller

By: Stone, Kyla

At the end of the world, the only refuge is the one you fight for.

Isolated at her family's wildlife refuge in northern Georgia, Raven longs to escape the monotonous days spent shoveling manure, hauling feed, and hosing down enclosures for bears, wolves, and a tiger. Until her father contracts the mysterious, lethal sickness spreading across the country like wildfire.

Desperate to help him, Raven journeys into town to get medicine, only to discover the outside world is swiftly collapsing into chaos. There are no more police, no more laws, and no hospitals. No one is coming to help.

The wildlife refuge she once resented now offers sanctuary: plenty of food, shelter, and the safety of electrified fences. Using the skills her father taught her, Raven knows how to survive.

But the threat is just beginning, for a dangerous gang tracks Raven back to the refuge, and they'll stop at nothing to take what she has.

Raven can run to save her life. Or she can stand her ground, risking everything to defend the animals-and her home.
