Bitter End

The truth will be revealed, whether they're ready or not. The firefight for the M-Bar's valuable resources rages on in the post-apocalyptic madness, but the Standings are finally standing together… until secrets that Maxine has tried to keep buried come to light. And when they do, they threaten to severe the last tenuous strands holding the family together. Reeling from betrayals that cut deeper than flying bullets, Josh Standing follows after his revenge-seeking father-in-law. He doesn't seem to have much choice, as it seems the Standings are collapsing from within and there isn't anything that can keep them together. And then they hear of a new horror: People are being rounded up and systematically slaughtered or enslaved by a single man leading a train of carnage. He's ruthless, he's cunning—and now he has Storm Standing, too. To save her family, Maxine will have to come face-to-face with her past and stand down her worst fears if she has any hope of stopping the man threatening her family. Before her final secrets become the death of them all.
