Beneath the Smoke

The road led them here.
 But peace was never part of the map.

At last, Anneliese Morgan has reached her father's homestead—a fortress deep in the mountains, built to outlast the end of the world. But safety has a cost. And the man behind the walls is not the father she remembers.

Rules are law. Trust is rationed. And anyone who doesn't fall in line… doesn't stay.

Dax has secrets. Evie has scars.
 And Caleb—torn between the woman who stood by him and the fiancée he thought he lost—is unraveling under the weight of everything they've survived.

Then the unthinkable happens.
 Someone inside the homestead betrays them.

As threats close in from every direction and loyalties are put to the test, Annie must step into a role she never asked for—and decide who she's willing to become to protect the people she loves.

Because this time, the fire isn't just outside the walls.

It's inside them, too.

Beneath the Smoke is the explosive fourth installment in The Line North series—a relentless exploration of survival, identity, and the burning cost of safety.
