    The survivors call it The Molting. It spread across the planet faster than anyone could anticipate, turning people into bloodthirsty creatures, abominations of nature. Now Molters swarm every landscape, hunting the few remaining humans to extinction. 
    Former Army grunt Jonah Browne helps his family survive the only way he knows how: hunting down what hunts them from a secluded cabin in the remote German Mountains. But when the sanctity of their home is threatened, he brings family and other survivors together for a desperate mission. 
    With the Molter horde closing in on them from all sides, members of the sparse convoy must reach the north or die trying. 
    The road won’t be easy. The survivors have limited fuel and supplies, and Germany is a hot zone. Only grit, gut-wrenching sacrifices, and unfaltering determination will keep them alive. 
    Luckily Jonah spent years stockpiling ammo. They’re going to need every single bullet.

    January 1921. Though the Great War is over, in Ireland a new civil war is raging. The once-grand Kilcolgan House, a crumbling bastion shrouded in sea mist, lies half empty and filled with ghosts, both real and imagined, while it shelters the surviving members of the Prendeville family. Then, when an IRA ambush goes terribly wrong, Maud Prendeville, Lord Kilcolgan’s eldest daughter, is killed, leaving the family reeling. Yet the IRA column behind the attack insists they left her alive, that someone else must be responsible for her terrible fate. Captain Tom Harkin, an IRA intelligence officer and Maud's former fiancé, is sent to investigate. He becomes an unwelcome guest in this strange, gloomy household. Working undercover, Harkin must delve into the house's secrets—and discover where, in this fractured, embattled town, allegiances truly lie. But Harkin too is haunted by the ghosts of the past and by his terrible experiences on the battlefields. Can he find the truth about Maud's death before the past—and his strange, unnerving surroundings—overwhelm him?
