The Dark Days

She stepped out to a strange people in a strange darkness…and she saw a stranger in her husband.

Charlie Kensal grieves the loss of both parents at her brother’s farm near Valley City, North Dakota. She’s always listened to her well-meaning if not rather authoritarian brother, even when it came to marrying Richard.

Then the world is upturned when darkness falls five minutes past two—in the afternoon. Even more shocking, Charlie escapes the isolated farm during a riot with rugged cattle rancher, Nick Miller.

The cause of the darkness is unknown. Temperatures plummet outside even as heat turns up between Charlie and Nick. When Charlie finds Richard at the National Guard Armory with other survivors, she leaves with her husband. But something is wrong with Richard. Soon, Charlie regrets leaving Nick to the darkness.

And darkness is just the beginning.
