The road north was supposed to lead to safety. But peace is just another illusion-and love might be the most dangerous risk of all.

With civilization collapsing and civil war erupting across the country, Anneliese Morgan is running out of time - and options. Her brother Caleb is becoming more tightly wound by the day, and the scars of their journey are starting to show.

At her side is Dax, a quiet survivalist who has risked everything to keep her alive. His past is murky, but his loyalty has never wavered. When Annie starts to feel something deeper, she has to decide: can you trust anyone in a world where trust gets you killed?

Meanwhile, Caleb is falling for Evie, the girl he never thought he'd see again. She's strong, steady, and everything he thought he lost when his fiancée died during the early days of the collapse.

But when a desperate group of survivors shares a list of names from a northern border camp, he sees the one name he never thought he'd hear again-his fiancée might still be alive.

Now Caleb must choose between the past that haunts him and the future he's starting to believe in.

And Anneliese must face a truth that could tear everything apart: You can't save everyone. Not even the people you love.

The Long Divide is the third installment in The Divided Collapse series-raw, emotional, and unflinching. For fans of The Last of Us, Yellowstone, and The Road.
