About this ebook

In a fractured near-future, the United States has crossed the northern border—and nothing will ever be the same.


Evan Cano is a medic in occupied Alberta, treating wounds on both sides of a war she never chose: Homies, Maplebacks, and everyone caught in between.


When her wife disappears and the Dominion Defense Network offers protection at a cost, Evan is forced to flee.  Across mountains. Across borders. Across the line between survival and resistance.

After a war between Canada and the US, Evan works as a medic. But of course something goes wrong and the story that drew me in begins. Well written it felt like I was there and had me holding my breath to the end to see what would happen next. A good dystopian read that is harsh yet hopeful at the same time and full of cool characters.

Intense & captivating it shows how hope & humanity can survive an insidious war. Attention to detail drew out the tension, transporting me into MC's journey. It's well written showing hardships & losses suffered due to a government's abuse of power. The characters support of each other shines as an inspiration & a wake up call for how humanity needs to look after each other. Evan's story serves as a stark picture but has such a strong thread of hope and survival that it was a pleasure to read
