Fires and Floods: Book 3 of the Sycamore Hollow Trials

The forest has kept them alive. Now someone is using it to hunt them. Winter has reached Sycamore Hollow. Food is running low, and Duggan has unfinished business with the people who drove him back. When two wounded intruders are found with their throats cut, suspicion falls on Elena, the teenager left guarding them. Amelia believes her. But that means someone else is moving through their woods unseen-and the people of the Hollow are already beginning to distrust one another. Across a drained riverbed, Mike has found an untouched grocery store that could feed them through winter. Reaching it means crossing treacherous mud and venturing beyond the trees that shelter them from the sky. Bringing its supplies home will take people Amelia can scarcely spare. For Mike, the abandoned shops hold another danger: a temptation that survived the end of the world. Farther west, Captain Sheraton discovers something in the ruined earth that is growing hotter when it ought to be cooling. The catastrophe that shattered their lives may still be unfolding. Amelia must send people out for food while a killer stalks the Hollow. This time, the ones who stay behind may be taking the greater risk.
