The Despondent

In a world broken by a devastating attack, three lives collide in a haunting tale of survival, vengeance, and fragile hope. Trisha Pontlev, the enigmatic leader of The Despondent, wields her ideology as both salvation and destruction. Delena Samuelson, driven by unbearable loss, walks the thin line between justice and cruelty. Mara Olstead, a scientist shackled by guilt, seeks redemption in a shattered world.

Set against a vividly crafted post-apocalyptic landscape, The Despondent explores the power of belief, the weight of grief, and the unyielding human spirit. Written with poetic precision and emotional depth, it is a story of flawed people grappling with the complexities of morality, connection, and the search for meaning.

Perfect for fans of The Road, The Handmaid's Tale, and The Leftovers, this is a gripping novel that lingers long after the final page is turned.
