What Divides: Children of the Pines Book Two

From the Where the Pines Still Stand Universe
A Post Apocalyptic Thiller!
The world didn’t end in fire.
It unraveled one system at a time—after the lights went out.
Now, in the mountains of upstate New York, the Callahan family has built something rare: a place where people still look out for one another… where children are taught how to survive what comes next.
But not everyone believes the future should be built on trust.
When a new group emerges—calm, organized, and disturbingly persuasive—the lines between safety and control begin to blur. They don’t raid. They don’t threaten.
They convince.
As whispers spread and loyalties begin to shift, the danger isn’t just outside the Lodge anymore.
It’s in what people are willing to believe.
And when a child goes missing, the truth becomes impossible to ignore:
Some threats don’t destroy you from the outside.
They divide you from within.
