The Homestead is destroyed. The safety once found behind walls of concrete is gone. The river that provided for the Homestead crew is dry. Survival depends on a will to fight. Now Neil and the others will be thrown into more dangerous trials. Friendships will be tested. Family ties will be strained. And a government that had once abandoned them will now ask for their aid. Every day the Dark grows more perilous. And once provoked, the Dark strikes back.
