As ammunition and supplies dwindle, and with the true commander away on a desperate mission to secure aid from neighboring settlements, the stakes have never been higher. If Camp Gamma doesn’t receive reinforcements soon, The Range will be overrun, leaving the settlement vulnerable to the relentless shadow assault. Set against a backdrop of military desperation,

In this high-stakes battle, can Cyrus and Nora overcome internal strife and external threats to save their people, or will the shadows finally conquer Camp Gamma and extinguish the last flicker of hope? Dive into this suspenseful, character-driven story to find out.

Reviewer Testimonials carry a lot of weight in the literary sector. Alex, an Amazon Reviewer, had this to say, “5.0 out of 5 stars - Couldn't Put it Down! The Range is a fast-paced, character-driven novel that instantly grabs you and doesn't let go. Nora is a fantastic female protagonist, and her journey is extremely compelling. Watching Cyrus evolve throughout the story is also satisfying, and readers who appreciate well-thought-out characters with realistic motivations and responses will appreciate both protagonists.”

It has everything you could want in a dystopian fantasy novel: a plot that keeps you on the edge of your seat, characters you can root for, and strong positive themes.
