No Road but the Wild: The Muleskinner Chronicles Volume 1
In the aftermath of The Pulse, technology is dead—and most of humanity with it. The forest has reclaimed what was hers.
Tigers now rule where humans once stood. Lawlessness spreads like rot. And deep beneath the ferns and towering cedars, something ancient is waking.
Newt rides the ruins as a muleskinner—alone, unflinching, shaped by a world that devours the weak. But when love finds her, and friendship takes root, Newt sees the world for what it is, and what it could be. To protect those she’s come to cherish, she must risk the one thing she’s always kept her heart.
Steeped in mythology, grit, and the aching beauty of the Pacific Northwest, No Road but the Wild is a post-apocalyptic Western and literary adventure about love, memory, and the cost of becoming who you were meant to be. This is the beginning of a saga where the wild doesn’t just test you—it claims you.

Wonderfully Descriptive
No Road but the Wild paints vivid pictures in the mind of the PNW’s beauty, stimulates one to think about how nature could return without the interference of humans, and provides a cast of characters who are intriguing, as well as relatable. RM Peacock has started a series I’ll eagerly anticipate the next book in!
