Exile: The Book of Ever

Exile is the first book in a post-apocalyptic fantasy trilogy about a group of characters trying to find a new home for their people centuries after the devastating event they know only as the Fall.

The United States is a ruined wasteland, ruled by twisted mutants and violent, lawless human tribes. Amidst this chaos, a small community of insular post-Christian survivalists has managed to survive, and even thrive, but their enemies are increasingly aggressive.

Some of the Blessed, as they call themselves, are Saints: people born with superhuman abilities--which the Blessed see as God-given blessings. A group of young people, led by Ever Oaks, a Saint with the power to heal, sets out into the uncharted north to find a safe haven for their people.

It's sort of The Walking Dead meets The Hunger Games meets The Stand.

Exile, part one of The Book of Ever, is a post-apocalyptic adventure novel that begins with a religious community facing annihilation at the hands of a violent tribe.

Some of the Blessed, as the community calls themselves, have supernatural gifts: the power to heal or superhuman strength, for example, which they see as gifts from a benevolent God.

It's the first book of a trilogy, set in the ruins of New England hundreds of years after a nuclear war. The main character, Ever Oaks, is a young woman tasked with finding a new home for her people, who sets out only to discover that she faces an enemy with far grander designs than simply depriving the Blessed of their home.

The novel follows Ever and her companions through a devastated landscape filled with lawless raiders and dangerous mutants, pursued by a insane cult leader increasingly obsessed with Ever herself.

Available in paperback and ebook on Amazon.
