The world ended the day Riley Collins decided to run. They call it the Shift-a cataclysm that shattered civilization and unleashed something far worse. Nearly two years later, Riley isn't just surviving-she's searching. Haunted by the past and hunted by the infected, she crosses a decaying wasteland to find her twin brother... and maybe a reason to keep going. But the road is ruthless. Towns have turned savage. Monsters wear human faces. And the only thing more dangerous than the creatures in the shadows is the fire-eyed predator who's decided Riley belongs to him. She doesn't travel alone-two orphaned children cling to her like a promise, and Jack Colton, a lethal paramilitary with secrets of his own, has become both her protector and her temptation. He says she's a distraction. But when Riley vanishes, Jack will risk everything to bring her back-launching a mission that could cost them the very future they're fighting for. Captured. Broken. Reborn. Riley must become something stronger than she ever imagined... or lose everything she has left. The Diviner is a pulse-pounding tale of survival, sacrifice, and fierce, forbidden love in a world where mercy no longer exists.
