Unleashed

The coast survived the collapse. Now someone is coming to collect a debt.

Mercer survived the raid on the northern depot.

He remembers Davis's name.

And he has mistaken a desperate mission to save dying children for a declaration of war.

Warrenton falls first. Then Mercer's terms reach Cannon Beach: return the stolen medicine, surrender Davis and Ivan, and give him a fifth of every harvest and every catch.

Refuse, and he will take another coastal community each morning.

Mercer does not destroy what he can control. He takes boats. Rations fuel. Separates families. Turns hunger into obedience. And he knows the coast's fragile alliance may fracture before it ever learns to fight as one.

With their stores depleted and too many graves still fresh, Sloane Delaney must unite scattered survivors against an enemy who understands that fear can be more powerful than force. Davis must confront the life he thought he had escaped. And every settlement must decide what freedom is worth before Mercer chooses the next cove.

Outnumbered and running out of time, Cannon Beach will have to turn salvaged technology, treacherous waters, and the coast itself into weapons.

This time, survival will not be enough.
The coast will have to fight back.
