    The world has already fallen. 
    Now survival is personal. 
    Sloane has done everything she can to keep her daughters safe — stockpiling supplies, fortifying their suburban home, teaching them never to trust strangers. In a world stripped of order, caution is survival. 
    But when their home is invaded and their carefully guarded provisions are destroyed, Sloane realizes isolation may no longer be enough. 
    Then there’s Kent — a quiet man staying nearby who claims he only wants to help. 
    In the old world, she might have believed him. 
    In this one, trust could be fatal. 
    As fear tightens its grip and resources grow scarce, Sloane must decide whether protecting her daughters means shutting everyone out… or risking everything on a fragile alliance. 
    Unbound is the gripping first installment in the Dawn of Deception series — a powerful post-apocalyptic survival story about motherhood, resilience, and the dangerous line between strength and isolation.

Soon Jen is in the crosshairs of those who will ensure the truth never comes to light, no matter the cost, and has to move quickly before she becomes next on the killer’s list.
