If The Sun Spares Us: Braving The Light Series Book 3

by Brenda Marie Smith

Two years ago, a solar pulse destroyed modern life. Bea Crenshaw organized starving neighbors into a farming community. But now Bea's gone, and her grandchildren must carry her legacy forward.

In the post-apocalyptic pressure cooker of Austin, Texas, 19-year-old Keno and his

younger cousins, Milo and Mazie, struggle to ensure their community's survival

even as they're forced to relocate to safer grounds. Northern Lights that don't

belong this far south grow increasingly intense, making Keno fear what harm the sun

will cause next.

Even worse, a marauding militia called the Raiders is closing in, led by a deranged

woman who preys on teenage boys. Despite Keno's debilitating flashbacks from a

firefight, he and his wife have a new baby to protect. Milo and Mazie's parents are

losing their grip on reality. Though Bea is dead, her spirit desperately searches for

ways to shield her grandkids. When Raiders target two neighborhood members, the

only hope lies in the community's strength, Keno's ingenuity, and the family's fierce

love for one another.

"An eclectrifiying and intense finale to Smith's atmospheric apocalypse family saga. You will be transfixed."

-Aden Polydoros, World Fantasy Award finalist, author of Wrath Becomes Her

"Smith's rich, multi-generational post-apocalytic saga takes a darker,

more metaphysical turn, while reluctant hero Keno risks everything to secure the

future of his fmaily. It's page-turing stuff "

-Laura Creedle, author of The Love Letters of Abelard and Lilys
