The world is burning. The law is absolute. And one family is caught between survival and justice.
Anne Penn is young, resourceful, and fiercely loyal to her father. When he is branded an environmental criminal, Anne is swept into a dangerous chase across a fractured America scarred by wildfires, black-market oil, and collapsing ecosystems. Survival means facing not just the law, but the truth about her family.
Her father, Bill Penn, only wants to protect her and clear his name. But a relentless investigator Janine Kilel, an agent of the Bureau of Environmental Security, will stop at nothing to bring them in. Behind her looms Colonel Raleigh Penn, Anne's uncle, a hard-edged lawman hiding a terminal illness and desperate for control. And in the shadows lurks Kapitan Gore, a merciless submarine commander who thrives on chaos and profit.
From Oregon's high desert to the toxic refineries of the Arctic Free Zone, Anne discovers that the choices she makes about loyalty, justice, and love will decide not just her fate, but the planet's.
