So when developer Ian McKay shows up in Peaks with plans to build condos where her café and a vital town ministry are located, she isn’t about to let go without a fight. As stubborn as he is handsome, Ian won’t give up easily. His family’s business depends on his success in Peaks. But as Ian pushes to seal the deal, he wonders if he has met his match. Robin’s gracious spirit threatens to undo his resolve, especially when he discovers the beautiful widow harbors a grief that resonates with his own.

But even as he disagrees with Bethany’s vision, Evan feels drawn to her and the pain she keeps so carefully locked away. For Bethany, making peace with her past and the God of her childhood doesn’t seem like the path to freedom. Is letting go the only way to new life, love and a peace that she’s not even sure exists?

In 2026 the Devastation destroyed almost everything; buildings toppled, forests fell, animals died, humanity was nearly wiped out. Only children survived, aged twelve years and under. Those that were not crushed by the falling buildings wandered through dust filled streets finding the others. Bonding together they formed their own clans and watched the world regrow from death to a morphed and mutated form. For six years they have lived their new life, fought to survive the new terrors that science had created and inadvertently set free. Now aged eighteen the elders have created laws and rules, guidelines for all within their clans to follow, but one clan will change everything. Alongside the good grows evil and evil has to spread, it has to hold power and control, has to destroy the good. A selected few from each of the clans must join together, as they are pulled by the evil that draws them to the unknown hell where it resides. As the clans fight amongst themselves and their differences, two leaders strive to rise above when they realise only together can they fight to continue their survival.
The accidental death of her father, a prominent citizen of Corona, leaves Victoria Moreno full of doubt, questions and anger. Suicide rumors heighten her grief. Why would her father, a devout Catholic kill himself? Was the death accidental? Struggling to cope with his actions, the 17-year old, finds solace in the inspiring and calming presence of Father John Collins rather than Ricardo, her betrothed childhood match.
