The Tucker Clan Saga

Ella Holland wanted a simple life, but she would have settled for survival. Life in the ravaged wilds of Appalachia is dangerous. Even if sickness or starvation doesn't get you, the rival clans, shifty nomads, or monsters that roam the hills will. This is why a clan must stick together at all costs. When a wandering drifter turns up with an army of ravenous pigmen at his heels, Ella Holland and the rest of her clan will have to confront the all the harsh realities they've kept outside their walls, the lies they've told themselves, and even the specter of their own extinction.

As the Tuckers' enemies hatch a secret plot for revenge, as a shadowy entity stalks the surrounding woods, and as new players enter the scene, Ella Holland's world grows darker, more dangerous, and more twisted. The lines between good and evil, native and foreigner, friend and foe become ever more blurred in the Tucker clan's struggle for peace and purpose. Can Ella navigate this increasingly complicated world while still holding onto her convictions? Can she save those she loves without sacrificing her soul?

The Tucker clan teeters on the brink of annihilation. The hand of friendship extended by the Americans concealed a dagger, and now Ella Holland languishes in captivity, separated from her homeland, knowing the true extent of the Americans' wicked intentions and powerless to stop them. While the Americans' iron-fisted control of the Tuckers nears its apogee, the Pied Piper waits in the wings. Against their multitudinous enemies, the Tuckers must use every ally and resource they can and resort to every tactic, no matter how savage.
