Through a Dark Mirror: A Gritty Post-Apocalyptic Survival Thriller with Soul

By Marata Eros and Tamara Rose Blodgett

From New York Times, USA TODAY, Amazon Top-15, #1 Amazon Thriller & Dark Fantasy Bestseller Tamara Rose Blodgett / Marata Eros

A haunting, slow-burn survival story for fans of The Road, Station Eleven and The Last of Us

They found safety. Now they must keep it.

Three years after the collapse, the survivors have carved out a fragile peace in the Olympic foothills. The compound-a network of log cabins buried deep in forest mist-is a haven built from ruin, guarded by former SEALs, and slowly expanding as others find their way to its borders.

But safety is an illusion.

As new threats creep in, alliances fray. Supplies thin. Secrets stir.
And for Jo-once fleeing for her life, now a soldier's wife-peace has become something else entirely: a responsibility.

When the cost of survival rises, how much will they risk to protect what's left?

Through a Dark Mirror is the gripping third novel in the Through Darkness Chronicles, a gritty post-apocalyptic saga of survival, found family, and quiet reckoning set in the Pacific Northwest.

Tropes you'll love:
Emotionally charged survival
Gritty, grounded, and unforgettable
Character-first apocalypse fiction
If you stayed for the trauma arcs in The Last of Us - this is for you.
