EMP: Mountain People: A Post-Apocalyptic EMP Survival Thriller
Six months after the war at Riverton, Freya McDonough has found something close to peace. Then Nevin comes home with an old spiritual friend named Lee, and a hardened young woman named Tanya walks out of the darkened woods asking to be taught survival skills.
Freya leads them into the high country to pass on everything Scott Candle taught her. Above the Dunoir, they find a homestead and the elderly couple who have kept it for fifty years, and the four stay on to care for them through the winter.
But a woman who calls herself Hekate holds a bitter grudge against the old couple, and she will burn every rail to take what they have built.
As the dark of the moon draws near, a mysterious stranger named Lancer walks out of the woods and wins them over with charm and easy laughter. Only Lee senses something is wrong, and every clue seems to lead back to Hekate.
Soon the price of holding one small porch climbs higher than anyone imagined.
You see, survival was never the hardest part. But staying human is.
