Lawless Saga

When Lark was sentenced to 25 years behind bars, she thought San Judas was her lucky break. The primitive 16,000-acre community in rural New Mexico isn't like any other prison. There are no cells, there is no warden, and Mother Mercy is the law. She didn't realize she'd be fighting for survival on a daily basis - battling hunger, violent inmates, and Mother Mercy's iron fist. Lark's only friend is Bernie - an off-the-rails environmental activist doing time for arson - and a mysterious stranger who's been sending her illicit messages from the men's colony.

When Lark and Soren escaped from San Judas, all they wanted was their freedom. Soren was desperate to rescue his younger brother from an abusive guardian, and Lark ached for a fresh start in life. What they found instead was a world destroyed - a country ravaged by drought, famine, and violent storms. And when the gang is taken hostage by an ex-Marine and his family of misfits, they learn a disturbing truth about San Judas and the broken world that remains.

When Lark, Soren, and Axel disappear from Kingsville, Bernie learns that her friends have been captured by Homeland Security. They're being detained at Cheyenne Mountain Complex, an impenetrable government fortress where prisoners have been known to disappear. Homeland Security wants information on GreenSeed, but Soren is still reeling from his discovery in Kingsville. He's combative and inconsolable, while Axel is determined to block the government at every turn.

Lark is on the run again, pursued by the same agents who betrayed her. She broke the rules. She has blood on her hands. And she has something they want desperately. When the gang’s helicopter crashes while landing in the Rio Grande, all their troubles come to a head. Soren is haunted by his discovery at Cheyenne Mountain. His grief is making him bitter and distant, and Lark fears the chasm growing between them. Homeland Security is closing in, and they will stop at nothing to bring Lark into custody.
