They'll protect what's theirs-or die trying.
The McDonald clan has bled, fought, and sacrificed to outlast the chaos. Now, Shane and Jodi know one truth: survival means keeping family close and outsiders at arm's length. With their home fortified, solar power humming, and a fresh well pumping life back into the land, the family finally dares to hope they've carved out a refuge in the ruins.
But safety is a lie.
Their once-quiet Georgia town is turning desperate. Neighbors want what the McDonalds have. The mayor calls it "redistribution." Shane calls it theft. And as hungry mobs gather at the edge of their land, an old enemy returns-more brutal and vengeful than ever.
When bullets fly and loved ones fall into the crosshairs, the McDonalds must make a stand. No more compromises. No more second chances.
They've built a haven in the ashes.
Now they'll fight to the last to keep it.
Expanded and republished in September 2025, New World is more gripping than ever-don't miss this chillingly realistic post-apocalyptic thriller.
