It’s been six months since all of the lower orbital satellites crashed to Earth. Akule Lopez has waited through every one of those days...waited to see her brother arrive home in Alpine.
Now she’s done waiting. Winter has fallen across the desolate Texas landscape. Rumors of war and insurrection abound. Akule doesn’t know how she’ll get from Alpine to Dallas. She doesn’t even know that her brother is still there. But she does know that she’s going to find out.
Her father doesn’t want her to go, but Akule isn’t a child anymore. She doesn’t need her father’s permission. She also understands that if she goes, if she dies in the attempt, then her father will have lost both of his children. She won’t let that happen. If it’s the last thing she ever does, she will find Paco and bring him home.
What sacrifice is too big, when it seems your life has been draped in a Veil of Destruction?

REVIEW
I have read many books by this author and loved each one. Now that she has ventured out into a new genre I am so impressed and applaud her for the exceptional transition from one genre to another. It is without question that this new series is one that makes you think. The world is not the same after destruction happened and the author vividly described what it may look like if this became a reality. The storyline is very good and easy to follow. I love the setting that is in Texas since I call Texas home.
To think that everything has changed for the characters in this story is unimaginable at times. Their strength to survive is powerful and when obstacles come they join together as a group to keep everyone together. What would it be like to have no food, no technology, not even electricity?
Akule and her family are the center of this story. What a challenge faces this family as they travel to find Akule’s brother and his family. The adventure is filled with danger as they encounter other groups who are not all friendly. I can’t imagine having to walk for long days always on alert to get to safety.
What I really like about the story is the close connection the group has. They meet challenges together and never give up. The story is an Illustration of trust and will power and a little faith. The author makes you feel like you are a part of the story as each scene is powerful. The need to go home after their journey is what drives them and keeps them going. They have seen many things on their journey, but coming home was where they would find safety and peace.
I received a digital copy of this book from the author. The review is my own opinion.
