Francis Deckham crossed a dead city to save his son. Now, months later, he’s built something real: a hidden farm, a windmill, a strange new family forged from survivors.
But survival in year two means one thing. You have to grow food. And a green field can be seen for miles.
Enter Stanley Macklemore. A seemingly soft and patient man of power who never farms. He harvests farmers. His trucks roll across the plains taking every crop, every season, leaving families just alive enough to plant again. Say no, and he makes an example of you.
Francis has one weapon left: he’s the grey man. The one nobody sees. To beat Macklemore, he must move unseen through enemy country, raise a rebellion farm by frightened farm, and strike at the one thread holding the whole kingdom together.
But the wolf strikes first. And this time, he takes the only thing that matters.
