A psychological thriller entwined with an intimate, tender romance, Soul Survivors is Book 1 of a series following two survivors' journey to escape a paramilitary nightmare. Secret lovers Emmalee and Niko dream of a quiet life, but they’re born into a paramilitary cult—a violent patriarchy that breeds children as weapons-for-hire—and they hate it. If they dissent, they die, and their parents are brainwashed leadership. Expectations are high for Niko, the executioner’s son, and his dissociative PTSD sells his emotionless killer image. But Emmalee’s empathic sixth sense knows Niko’s truth; he’s actually a crybaby who hates violence. Similarly, the cult deems Emmalee useless due to her chronic illness, but Niko knows she’s the lion-hearted leader the world needs. To prove her worth to the ableist world, Emmalee sabotages a cult superior’s deadly drug trial. Except Emmalee doesn’t know Niko’s darkest secret; the cult superior is also Niko’s sexual abuser. When Niko’s abuser threatens not only them, but the entire nation with a reality-bending experiment, Emmalee and Niko have to end the abuse cycle that imprisons the US without losing their lives—or each other.
