Description
Earth has been devasted by a seven day meteorite storm. Governments have failed and those who control the remaining resources have taken over vast territories. To maintain order, they've created a brutal caste system, sectioned into the Corporates, the Uppers, and the Dailys. But in the Colorado Territory a desperate dream quietly rumbles.
Jillian is a Daily clinging to a promise of hope. She is sworn to secrecy about a sanctuary city, but she prays the shadow group with its cryptic messages and military procedures will forgive her for telling her sister. For a chance at happiness and peace, they risk death and unspeakable abuse. They have very little information, but one thing is clear. They will be imprisoned in this unknown place.
Bannon Vogel inherited a vast shipping and supply empire when his family was murdered. He pulls in every favor, debt, and opportunity to accumulate supplies for New Haven, the secret city he is building in the Eisenhower Tunnel. Gray Takota commands the city's army of Defenders. Protecting the citizens is his primary function, but he doesn't count on falling for a woman who poses the greatest threat to the town's security.
The project's intent is to reestablish a place of civility, but the cost is freedom and for some their souls.

Dee. A great read
Great book from a first-time author. Having been through the Eisenhower tunnel many times I could see where this could take place. I couldn't wait to get from chapter to chapter.
BDW. Can't wait for the next book from this author

Smegge. Can't stop reading.
Captivated from the beginning through the end. One of those books you can't put down. Has a blend of Veronica Roth's Divergent series, Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged, and other authors who have deeply researched and written page-turning stories. I'm looking forward to the continuation of this come-to-life tale.
Naomi. On the edge of my seat
I love how Roxanne Ward has created this world set in a post-apocalyptic setting, where the sliver of life as we know it hangs in the balance. Her writing draws you in, you're able to quickly connect with the characters. There are family ties, romance, and suspense. You won't be able to put this book down! The best part, the book leaves off with just enough of a cliffhanger that you're satisfied with the end, but want more. Looking forward to what Roxanne Ward comes out with next!
Russ. Has something for everyone
An incredible book. If you like action, it has it. Romance? It has it. Dystopian survival? Yep. What an ingenious use of what may actually happen if all goes awry in the world.
