The rest of the world fell silent long ago. But someone’s out there. And Anita Carmichael wants to know who.
Anita has spent the last decade slaughtering in her sister’s name. The time has come to escape her final prison—Scotland, a country of death and ghosts. Deserting the faction that betrayed her, Anita flees into the Borderlands.
But she’s not alone out there. Captured by Blake O’Riley, last survivor of a faction she hates, she’s forced to recount past traumas while he decides her fate. The longer she spends with the smirking, violet-eyed warrior, the more she respects him. He’s suffered and lost and struggled to survive. Like her. She wants to protect him, not kill him. Which means she should definitely kill him. To protect herself.
Because some things are more terrifying than hatred. And surrendering could be her biggest mistake yet.
If you like enemies to lovers, a journey of redemption and a woman who can handle a gun, you’ll love Salvation Road. Read the second book in the action-packed dystopian romance and adventure series The Faction War Chronicles and enter the brutal wilds of Scotland, where Anita will find more than she bargained for.
This book is written in British English and contains swearing, sex and violence (including attempted rape and sexual assault). Some scenes also include PTSD flashbacks to torture, and discussions of torture.

This book is just as depressing and morbid as the first. It’s bad enough when others force their choices on us, but worse when our own choices come with unimaginable consequences. I’d hate to be second-guessing myself all the time in life-or-death situations. What an excrutiating way to live…not being able to trust the one person who should never let you down.
I can’t even imagine what it’s like to live in a world like this (some people do IRL). After what Anita’s been through, she is totally justified in here attitude. ‘[Scotland] might be my country, but it stopped being my home a long time ago.’ ‘This frigid ice queen has no room for sorrow.’ ‘I am ice. Steel. Once, I was fury.’
Fave quotes: ‘What use is a knife in a world of guns and teeth?’
Anita is back and even though she fights through unimaginable torture and a nightmare of living she still wants to bring her daughter sisters killers to their death. While she faces danger, torture, betrayal, triumph, lies and love, her freedom is at her fingertips.
