The Light We Lost

A catastrophic solar flare. Half the planet goes dark. The fight to survive begins now.

When a solar superstorm slams into Earth, it ignites the sky-and wipes out modern civilization. Power grids fail. Satellites fry. Communications collapse.

In the remote wilderness of Michigan's Upper Peninsula, young Shiloh Easton wakes covered in blood. Her grandfather has been murdered. Her brother is missing. And she remembers nothing. Armed with a crossbow, Shiloh vanishes into the forest to find her brother-before the killer finds her.

Eight years ago, Eli Pope was convicted of a murder he didn't commit. Now he's free-and out for vengeance. First on his list: Undersheriff Jackson Cross.

Jackson Cross once put his best friend behind bars. Now the world is unraveling, two kids are missing, and the killer could be anyone. With law and order crumbling, Jackson is forced to turn to the only man who can track the children: Eli Pope. But trusting the man who wants him dead may cost him everything.

Sixteen hundred miles away in Tampa, first responder Lena Easton gets the call before the cell towers fail: her father is dead, her niece and nephew are missing, and the man who shattered her life is free. With her search-and-rescue dog Bear at her side, Lena heads north-toward the past she left behind, and a world gone dark.
