The Glades (The Matthew Eric Universe Book 1)

“The life I knew was gone.”

Losing everything in a flash changes your internal compass. Matthew has to find a new version of himself while the world burns around him.

Quiet moments in the middle of chaos are what keep people sane. Those small breaks between the danger feel more important than the fight itself.

“Who can you really trust in a world like this?”

Trust becomes a very expensive currency when society collapses. You start weighing every conversation like your life depends on it.

Nature feels a lot more hostile when the power goes out. The woods aren't just scenery anymore. They are a constant test of survival.
