Know More
They survived the chains. The desert. They found ways to triumph over those who would use them for their own ends.
Harlan and Beryl are free.
They continue north, a frantic race back to Montana to discover the fate of Harlan’s loved ones. But the road is not empty, and every stranger they encounter is a test.
Will they have to fight or flee? Be predator or prey?
Harlan is forced to question what surviving at any cost will do to him. Is it worth getting home to Jessica, and his child, if he is something unrecognizable?
Beryl slowly slips free of the bindings that lock her inside of herself. But as she finds her voice, she is forced to reconcile her feelings for Harlan and what the end of their journey might mean to her.
The winds are changing, winter is beginning to make itself known. Their journey will push them to new extremes, and they will not only have to protect each other from the horrors that stalk their path, but from the darkness rising within.
Introducing The Monster, the stunning second installment of the Unbound Trilogy.
A Word from the Author
There is nothing so scary, so jarring as the world, as you know it, ending. And that’s the kicker right there, the ‘as you know it’ part. If you had been raised in the Old West or medieval times, or basically in any other era, you might be able to cope with the apocalypse better. For distance and communication and, well, death were all seen in a different way. But for modern men and women, suddenly losing phones, satellites, computers, blinking lights and refrigerated goods…These are mental blows, and it’s much harder to try to learn and adapt to your new conditions as your brain is still scrambling to find itself. It’s the same with morality, and that is what The Monster is truly about. If all your life you’ve had the blinking lights and bright lit screens of what is right and wrong in your face, and suddenly that’s gone, what do you do? How do you psychologically cope? For some it’s easier. For others, it most definitely is not. I hope The Monster makes you ask these questions of yourself.
