Afterlight
After the light, secrets hide in the dark.
Ten years after a solar storm brought the world to its knees, life has begun again on a remote island cut off from the mainland. For Alex, it’s home—but never entirely at peace.
He remembers what came before. He remembers what was lost.
But when long-buried questions about his childhood resurface, he’s drawn back to the mystery of the mainland. Against the warnings of those closest to him, Alex risks everything to leave the only community he trusts and venture into a fractured world beyond the shore.
What he finds will change everything he thought he knew.
And some truths, once uncovered, can never be forgotten.
Book 2 in The Blackout Chronicles, a tense, human story of ordinary lives on the edge of collapse—where courage means facing not only the dark outside, but the one within.
