Safe (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798349599859)

High above a ruined city, Andrew and his ten-year-old daughter Wrenley live in a fortified penthouse that has become their sanctuary. For years, Andrew has kept her sheltered from the horrors below-shambling corpses in the streets, marauders in the dark, and the echoes of a world long collapsed. Their life is built on fragile routines: rooftop gardens, lessons at the kitchen table, stories whispered before bed. To Wrenley, this is normal. To Andrew, it is survival-an unrelenting devotion to preserving her innocence.

But silence carries weight, and even in the tallest refuge, the echoes of what waits below creep closer. When their carefully built world begins to shift, both father and daughter must hold fast to each other-and to the idea of safety-even as the meaning of that word starts to unravel.

Safe is a domestic drama wrapped in the bones of horror: an intimate portrait of love, hope, and the fragile shelter we build against the darkness outside.
