She is a doctor moving to South Africa seeking a more meaningful life. He is a hyena cast out of his clan. As darkness falls, their paths cross in a dangerous land.

Genevieve Marshall is a physician in a disintegrating American healthcare system. As the United States descends into chaos, she reaches out to a rural hospital in South Africa, hoping to be of help to its people. She finds lending a hand is not so simple in a country still wounded by colonialism, deep inequality, and the savage hangovers of Apartheid. Negotiating this minefield while attempting to become part of the community, she remains an outsider. After experiencing violence she grasps just how alone she is.

Within hyena matriarchal society, males are the lowest of the low, as one young spotted hyena finds when he is exiled from the clan of his birth. Roaming an ever-shrinking wild, he is mauled by a rival hyena clan, forced to scavenge among deadly humans, each day facing death on the precarious savanna.

Genevieve and the hyena endure vicious attacks, and in healing together they must discover a path forward: fight your way into a clan, or find a new one. A novel about a land of stark beauty and contrasts, We Shall Endure explores the complicated course of beginning a new life as the world around us changes irrevocably.
