After the Fall, bk 1

A natural disaster was only the beginning.
What comes next will test who they are—and who they’re willing to become.

Seventeen-year-old Anneliese Morgan was living a normal life—4-H, softball, a future she could almost taste.

Then the sky cracked open.

A chain of catastrophic disasters shatters the Midwest, leaving cities in ruins and order in freefall. Her older brother, Caleb, is suddenly the only person she can count on, back from a year off-grid with their survivalist father. Alongside him is Evie, the girl he left behind—the girl Annie never expected to rely on.

With home destroyed and the world unraveling, their only hope is the isolated homestead their father built deep in the Montana wilderness. But the road north is filled with danger—militias, collapsed highways, and strangers who would kill for a can of food.

When a betrayal costs them everything, Anneliese and Caleb must decide how far they’re willing to go to survive… and what pieces of themselves they can afford to lose.

After the Fall is the gripping start to The Divided Collapse series—a tense, emotional journey of survival, loyalty, and the choices that define us.
