"Vivid, violent, and full of unexpected grace." -- BookLife (Publishers Weekly)

IN THE LAST SURVIVING FOREST OF A SHATTERED WORLD, THREE ANCIENT HOMINIDS STAND AGAINST BRUTAL INVADERS.

74,000 BCE. The Toba super-eruption has plunged Southeast Asia into a volcanic winter. In this apocalyptic wasteland, survival lies only in rare, sheltered pockets of land -- refugia.

A young primitive man and the remnants of his clan find one such haven: a mist-shrouded forest shielded from the ash-choked world beyond. He is known as Last -- the smallest, weakest, an outcast among his people. His sole mission: protect his eight-year-old brother, the only family he has left.

But when a more advanced human species invades, slaughtering the clan and enslaving the women and children, Last must form a desperate alliance with two dangerous forest hominids -- one dwarflike, the other monstrous -- to rescue the boy he loves.

Refugium is a fact-based prehistoric thriller set against one of Earth's deadliest extinction events. It boldly pushes the limits of hope, human endurance, and the most extraordinary interspecies alliance ever forged.

"Thrillingly original... a bleak portrait of a lawless world." -- Kirkus Reviews

"Powerful, immersive, and lingers long after the final page." -- Staci Layne Wilson, bestselling author of Rock & Roll Nightmares
