Sanctuary (Subversive #2)

Six months after fleeing the Task Force, Gemma Alcott and a handful of fellow believers have found refuge deep in the Pennsylvania wilderness. Tucked away in a hidden encampment known as the Sanctuary, supplied by an aging bookstore owner and her quiet network of allies, it feels—for the first time—like peace. Each night, Gemma falls asleep in Taylor’s arms, surrounded by trees, silence, and the fragile hope that maybe, just maybe, they’re safe.

But the past won’t stay buried. Gavin still lingers in her thoughts. And Mullen, the ruthless redheaded soldier, stalks her dreams like a shadow she can’t shake. When the Task Force locks down the nearby town of Winter’s Dam, threatening the lives of those keeping the Sanctuary alive, Gemma and Taylor lead a small team into dangerous territory for a rescue mission that goes terribly wrong.

As the fallout threatens to destroy everything they’ve fought to protect, Gemma is forced to confront not only the regime that wants her dead but also the guilt, grief, and unanswered questions that have followed her into the forest. Stripped of everything she loves, she must find her courage, her voice, and her faith in the only sanctuary that cannot be taken away.

Sanctuary is a riveting continuation of The Subversive Trilogy—a story of survival, sacrifice, and the enduring power of faith in the face of overwhelming darkness.
