Know your enemy. ** Weigh risk against reward. ** **Fight for your people. **

These are the rules that have kept Elijah’s group alive and prospering through the apocalypse. He is confident when he makes the decision to return to Oklahoma, even though it means facing the man who tried to overthrow him.

He knows the enemy. He’s weighed the risks. He’s ready to fight. Then strangers arrive, with Mother Nature on their heels. Winter may kill them before their enemies have the chance. The one thing Elijah didn’t consider – anything goes in this New World.
