Ashes in Winter

Surviving the winter is only half the battle…Derek Moss was a sales manager, not a soldier. Now he stands between a remote ranch outside Sudbury and the raiders coming to take it. Led by a ruthless warlord, they don't just want supplies — they take whatever they can, and leave nothing behind. If Derek can't hold the line, there won't be anything left to save.In the frozen shell of downtown Sudbury, his longtime friend Daniel fights a slower death, keeping a handful of survivors alive as the heat dies and food runs out. To the west, in High Falls, Garrett faces a different kind of collapse — holding his people together as hunger and fear start turning them into the very thing they're trying to survive.As civilization breaks under a brutal northern winter, survival stops being about endurance. It becomes a question of what you're willing to do — and what you're willing to become.Because in the end, the cold isn't the worst thing hunting them...... It's everyone else.
