Unleashed, Dawn of Deception - Book 5

The coast survived the collapse. Now someone is coming to collect a debt.

Mercer survived the raid on the northern depot.

He remembers Davis’s name.

And he has mistaken a desperate mission to save dying children for a declaration of war.

Along the Oregon coast, Sloane Delaney and the communities she helped unite are still recovering. Their stores are depleted, their alliances remain fragile, and too many graves are still fresh. But for the first time since the world fell apart, the cove lights are burning again.

Then a new threat emerges from the north.

Mercer is no longer content to defend what remains of the depot. He intends to punish the people responsible for humiliating him—and Cannon Beach is standing directly in his path.

With an attack approaching, Sloane must transform a scattered network of survivors into a force capable of defending the coast. Davis must confront the consequences of the life he once lived, and every settlement must decide whether the alliance is worth fighting for.

This time, survival will not be enough.
The coast will have to fight back.

Unleashed is the forthcoming fifth novel in A. R. Shaw’s Dawn of Deception series—a gripping post-apocalyptic survival thriller about loyalty, retaliation, and the terrible cost of protecting everything you rebuilt.
