But when one of the young women is found murdered in a dark alley off Trinity Lane, the fragile calm of Rosalynd’s aristocratic life is abruptly shattered.

After the storm comes calm. But for how long? Fresh from their victory against Olsen’s armies, new challenges await the people of Safe Haven. Under siege, with fuel running out fast, hard decisions need to be made in order to keep the settlement secure.

Sometimes, formidable challenges can seem impossible. Sometimes, you can forget what you’ve done and what you’re capable of.
