After the long years they called the Scarcity, the world didn’t end. It only grew smaller.

​

When the grids failed and the cities went dark, people learned again to live by the harvest instead of the clock. In the valleys of northern California, the Vyrell vineyard became a place of survival and mercy—a refuge where faith and labor held the world together.

​

Micah Vyrell leaves home to claim the life he believes he deserves. Alaric, his dutiful older brother, finds himself drawn toward a lonely young woman. Maribel arrives in St. Helena with almost nothing, searching for a place she can finally call her own, while Lydia must face the man she betrayed—and the sins neither of them has forgotten.

​

Inspired by Scripture’s timeless parables—The Prodigal Son, The Good Samaritan, The Workers in the Vineyard, The Pharisee and the Tax Collector—these stories explore what remains of faith after the world has burned and begun again. In the silence that follows collapse, every soul must choose: repentance or ruin.​
