After struggling through the winter Flagstaff is waiting on a delayed spring, while contemplating the necessity to simply produce more food. With deaths running in the thirties per week and everyone on starvation rations the news that a part of the Army is heading their way is a mixed blessing. While the added firepower might boost security it will prove difficult to feed the extra mouths...
Before the army arrives some important decisions must be taken.
Not the best stepping-on point! The regular team are in fine fettle - and there is a surprise arrival of a figure from the past that upsets the relationship Jenn has with some of the closest to her.
A satisfactory point to pause - there is some closure (as the title suggests) but also the promise of a new set of problems... Go read it!

A really great read! A good continuation of the story so far! A strong willed female character struggles not only with family issues but inter fighting amongst the home defending forces! Twists & turns, ups & down, never a dull moment! Great action & pace, always an exciting read! I do recommend all of this series!
