After a less than cordial welcome at the family vineyard, the O’Brian and Tills groups are put in their hardest situation yet, where every choice is a compromise. Home is where the heart is… unless that heart has been ripped out in the penultimate book of FOLIANT.
A nerve agent is deployed in cities across the country, and within hours tens of millions are dead – but the worst is yet to come.
Caught in the middle of the attacks in Los Angeles, the vacationing O’Brian family barely survives by the skin of their teeth – but soon find themselves trapped in the midst of a city of the dead. The only way back to their family in Oregon is to go straight through the heart of the charnel house, a prospect that is easier said than done.
Far to the north, in Oregon, the Tills family vineyard is spared the worst of the initial attacks – but the secondary effects may be their undoing as the world falls apart around them.
For those in charge of the response, the attacks are evolving too quickly to predict, and the country’s final undoing may be closer than anyone realizes as the terrible attacks have only just begun….

MIKE KRAUS arrived on the fiction scene in 2012 with the surprise smash hit Final Dawn, a post-apocalyptic series that sold over 250,000 copies in just a year. A few years later he formed Muonic Press, the 5+ year top indie publisher of post-apocalyptic fiction on Amazon (according to book analytics firm K-lytics) and a truly unique indie press in how it operates collaboratively with authors to form connections with readers that last beyond a single book or series. Muonic Press and Mike collectively have over 3.25 million sales as of 2023, and that number continues to grow as they produce amazingly unputdownable entertainment.
In his youth, Mike Kraus devoured the works of Crichton, King and Preston & Child like there was no tomorrow, along with a healthy dose of technothrillers from the likes of James Rollins. These influences clearly ring true to this day, as readers have described Mike “like if Crichton and King had a love child” and he still loves imbibing in a pulpy technothriller whenever he has the chance.

On an alternate earth, a cataclysm has altered a subset of the population. Talents are persecuted for their psychic and physical mutations, giving rise to two conflicting societies based upon maintaining genetic purity. And the Source, a shadowy corporate entity dependent upon the exploitation of captive Talents, is hunting them…
Self-exiled to the Outside, Flynn Scot is oath-bound to a life of strict penance.
Cursed with a vicious temper and haunted by the blood-stained debauchery of his past, Flynn’s sworn off women, whiskey, and violence, and doesn’t give a damn about whispers of the coming war. He sure as hell isn’t in the mood to make good on a debt when it’s called in, especially when playing white knight outs him as a Talent, and the damsel in distress as his soulmate.
On the run from her future as a broodmare for the Source, escaped Talent Kara Jester is no distressed damsel.
And the last thing she wants is to be trapped in a blizzard with a surly—and frustratingly captivating—thug. Without the suppression meds holding her libido in check, her biology’s primed to procreate, and Flynn’s growled assurances that he won’t touch her doesn’t match the hunger in his eyes.
It doesn’t align with what fate has in store for them, either.
With elite troops hot on their heels and the border set to close, it’s a race to the North, away from Kara’s horrific future and towards the dark past Flynn wants to keep buried. Clinging to the shreds of his oath, he’s forced to choose between protecting the woman he’s afraid to love and letting out the animal he swore he’d never be again. Either may destroy him, if Kara’s secrets don’t get them killed first.
BREAKER, the first spicy dystopian romance in the The Price of Talent series by AK Nevermore.
