Our fathers have sinned, and are not; and we have borne their iniquities. Lamentations 5:7 Caleb and Bristol escaped a near-death experience in Los Angeles. But unfortunately, the chaos is not exclusive to California. A cataclysmic economic and societal collapse is metastasizing across the country and has permeated the small, isolated town where Caleb and Bristol seek refuge.

Caleb does his best to avoid the Koontzs, but when evasion ceases to be an option, Caleb will have to choose between fight or flight. A showdown between good and evil is coming. Yet in a world filled with darkness, the lines separating the two can get blurry. Don't miss the latest instalment in the new post-apocalyptic saga, Lamentations for the Fallen.
