Knifepoint
Raina was just a girl when the plague came. She survived. Her parents didn't. Neither did the world. As civilization fell, she took to the ruins of Los Angeles, eating whatever she could catch.
After two years alone, she's found and adopted by a fisherman and his wife. Their makeshift family lives a quiet life--until a man named Karslaw sails in from Catalina Island with an army of conquerors. Driven by visions of empire, he executes Raina's new father as a traitor and takes her mother captive.
But Karslaw's people aren't the only ones vying for control of the ruined land. As violence wracks the city, Raina joins a rebellion against Karslaw's rule. She will stop at nothing to free her mother--and to have her revenge.

Edward W. Robertson
When Edward W. Robertson writes, he doesn't just build worlds—he watches them burn and rise again. From crumbling civilizations in his Breakers series to the epic, war-torn landscapes of The Cycle of Arawn and The Cycle of Galand, his work pulses with tension, grit, and the kind of moral complexity that keeps readers up long past midnight.
Robertson first emerged on the fantasy and science fiction scene with a quiet but deliberate presence. That presence soon erupted into a million books sold, a USA Today bestseller title, and accolades including Audie and Voice Arts Award nominations. But behind the numbers is a writer who has never shied away from asking the hard questions: What happens when the world ends? What does power cost? And can redemption survive in the aftermath?
