Saints of the Crossroads: A Post-Apocalyptic EMP Survival Thriller (Saints EMP: Part II)

A year has passed since the General laid down his kingdom and walked east into the wilderness. Ozark Hollow has grown from thirty frightened souls into a thriving village of a hundred and forty, its gate open to the lost, its spring still running, its legend spreading down every broken road. Caleb Renner is no longer a soft goat farmer. He is a story that walks the roads ahead of him, the still water, the man with two sworn pistols who stands between the wolf and the lamb.But peace is more dangerous than war.When a dying man crawls to the gate begging the Saints to save a town called the Crossing, Caleb leads his people south to face a new kind of darkness. The Tollman believes in nothing but the strong and the weak. He has no door to reach, no crack to find, no soul to turn. And he is only the first.A false shepherd who turns the Gospel into a leash. Wolves in borrowed wool. A Hammer that breaks the towns that learn to stand and makes them stone their own brave. A famine of mercy that tests whether the open door has a limit after all. And the slowest enemy of all, the one that preys not on the wicked but on the best, the good strong soul that turns hard for the most loving reasons in the world.As founders fall and feral children become men, the Saints must answer the question no fight can settle. What holds a free people together when the fear that united them is gone? A strong hand, or a table where the deepest disagreements never break the bond?Spanning fifty years and built on faith, grit, and the cost of keeping a door open in a world full of wolves, Saints of the Crossroads is a sweeping post-apocalyptic saga of survival, sacrifice, and the choices that make a soul a soul.For readers of post-EMP survival fiction who want more than gunfights. This is a story about who you become when the world stops ending and you finally have to decide what you are for.The door is open. Come to the crossroads.
