See all formats and editions

In a world ravaged by an oppressive regime, Charlie and Annie Cooper find themselves thrust into a battle for survival and freedom. The Millstone administration's iron grip on the country has transformed it into a place of fear and despair, where Defiants like Charlie are hunted down, banished, or worse.

As a high-profile Defiant, Charlie knows that every step he takes could be his last. The government's relentless pursuit leaves him with no choice but to constantly look over his shoulder, trust no one, and keep his family on the run. With the future of the world hanging in the balance, he must find a way to unite with other Defiants, who are equally determined to resist the oppressive regime.

The threat of execution and the horrors of the work camps loom large, paralyzing the public with fear. Brainwashing techniques and manipulation have created a society too terrified to stand up against the government's tyranny. But Charlie refuses to let fear dictate his actions. He will go to unimaginable lengths to protect his family, save his country, and prevent the collapse of the entire world.

In a race against time, he must navigate treacherous alliances, face unimaginable challenges, and confront his own inner demons. Will his determination and sacrifice be enough to bring down the Millstone administration and restore freedom to a nation on the brink of destruction?

Join Charlie on a heart-pounding journey through a dystopian landscape, where the fight for survival intertwines with the fight for a better future. This gripping tale of courage, resilience, and the enduring power of hope will leave readers breathless and questioning the true cost of freedom.

From the Publisher

The Defiants Series

What would you do if all of your freedoms were taken from you?

Charlie Cooper loves America. He has participated in every election since he was old enough to vote. Elections have consequences, and America learns quickly that the Millstone Regime is quickly changing the country. The new president shows dictator-like tendencies, stripping the American people from the life they used to know, to a restrictive government that labels you a DEFIANT if you refuse to comply.

Charlie's family is his top priority. Restrictions on groceries, gas, and money allowed to be spent soon prove detrimental to his young son's health, and he will do anything he can to protect the ones he loves, even if it means going on the run and avoiding being imprisoned for being a Defiant. Knowing the ultimate consequence is death for failing to comply, Americans are forced to make decisions to give up freedoms, or die trying in an attempt to get the nation back to the way it was before Millstone took office.

Will the Defiants be able to avoid capture and come together to force a new revolution, or will Millstone and his followers continue to turn the land of the free into a restrictive government where freedom no longer exists?
