Savage Reign

They taught the kids: Run. Hide. Fight. None of it was enough.

As Detective Indie Reign is about to give a K-9 demonstration to the freshman class of Sherwood County High School West, gunfire rings out from the hall outside the gym.

It's every police officer, parent, teacher, and student's worst nightmare.

An active shooter.

The students have trained for it. Run. Hide. Fight. But nothing could have prepared them for the scene unfolding inside the labyrinthine halls of the school.

Chaos.
Terror.

Two masked gunmen in custodian coveralls, their faces hidden behind grotesque, crying baby masks, unleashing carnage.

And the only thing standing between the students and massacre is Indie and her K-9, Broc.

But as a tactical team assembles and the body count climbs, an already harrowing situation twists into something far more calculated.

The shooter has hostages.
A specific target.
And a grudge to settle.

This is more than a random act of violence. At the center of it all is a grief so painful it mutated into something monstrous. The killer is unraveling and his endgame is already in motion.

The students trained for the worst day of their life. They didn’t know it would be today.

Savage Reign is the high-octane third novel in the Indie Reign series by Mary Stone and Karen Guyler, where personal choices have worldly — and deadly —consequences.
