A post-pandemic survival thriller of refugee camps, rebel uprisings and a classified archive that could explain the outbreak. Book three of a British dystopian series where every promise kept comes at a price.

The Island Was Meant to Be Safe. Nowhere Is.

In the aftermath of a devastating flu pandemic, a military-led relief effort is evacuating UK survivors to a mass quarantine zone on the Isle of Wight. In the political and moral vacuum that follows, refugees trade their freedom for food and shelter.

Riley and the others living at Hurst Castle relocate to an abandoned hotel on the clifftops of Freshwater Bay to escape the descent into anarchy. Riley has a promise to keep: leaving the relative safety of their new island home to search for Zed’s daughter in the refugee camps.

The Allied mission to investigate the causes of the outbreak leads Zed to a classified government research facility, and to an archivist with detailed knowledge of the UK’s century-long experiments with chemical and biological agents.

After her kidnap from Osbourne House, Terra remains embedded with Briggs and the rebel group, helpless to stop his attempts to disrupt the Allied reconstruction efforts. As more locals rally to the rebels’ cause, civil war looks inevitable, and everyone at Hurst will have to choose a side.

Wildfire is the third book in The Hurst Chronicles, for readers who love post-apocalyptic survival, refugee-camp intrigue and British dystopian fiction. Perfect for fans of A.G. Riddle, Hugh Howey and Justin Cronin.
