Deadwater

Toxic Tides, Book 3

By: Riley Miller, Grace Hamilton

Narrated by: Maxwell Zener

Post-Apocalyptic Disaster Saga of an American Family Surviving a World-Changing Algae Bloom

They fought to escape. Now they have to survive the fallout.

The forest was supposed to be a refuge. But when the Wellspring cult discovers their hidden cabin—and brings armed allies with them—Hazel, Caleb, and their found family are forced to make a devastating choice: abandon their sanctuary or be destroyed.

On the run once again, hunted through a toxic wilderness, the group is exhausted, fractured, and running out of water. Their only lead is a trail of cult "waystations" that might hold the key to survival... or a trap waiting to snap shut.

And as desperation mounts, so do the questions: What’s left of the world beyond the trees? And how do you hold on to hope when even safety can be poisoned?

With the cult closing in and safety within reach, the final confrontation will demand everything they have—and cost more than any of them are ready to lose.

Exhaustion and determination!

Deadwater by Riley Miller and Grace Hamilton continues the series with tense, emotional storytelling that kept me invested throughout. Maxwell Zener’s narration captures every moment of exhaustion and determination as the group struggles through a toxic wilderness. The confrontation with the Wellspring cult and the desperate search for safety made this a standout installment.
