Solstice Dayton escapes the sewers and crosses the post-apocalyptic wasteland in search of freedom, only to find the American West has been taken over by the worst guys ever.
With her friends, Solstice swears to protect the last refuge and the people on its borders. But just as peace begins to feel almost possible, war breaks out, a virus sweeps through the land, and the last forest goes up in flames. Because of course it does.
Caught between rival enemies, savage gangs, and a rapidly unhelpful universe, Solstice discovers a hidden world beneath the desert sands and the key to getting home at last. She just has to survive long enough to use it. She might be slipping, though. She’s pretty sure her sword is also a talking horse that will one day become a surfboard.
In The Sunshine Border series, Solstice Dayton rides across a post-apocalyptic western wasteland, forges bonds with the people of the frontier, and learns she’s tied to the American West in ways she never expected. But also, apparently, Key West.
If you love young adult dystopian fiction, apocalyptic westerns, post-apocalyptic survival stories, strong heroines, found family, and slow-burn romance, you’ll gallop through The Sunshine Border. Fans of The Postman and Dances With Wolves will feel right at home in this wild, irreverent genre-bending adventure, but only if you imagine them with teens, cannibals, nests the size of people, 500-inch winters, left-handed archers, National Parks, mudslides, staying out of Idaho, and zombie-like dazers.
Will Solstice uncover her mysterious past, find new love in the wild, and keep the alliance from imploding, or will the whole thing go up in smoke? Get the exciting new twist in the Solstice Dayton saga today.
One girl’s dream becomes destiny.
Solstice Dayton treks west in post-apocalyptic America, believing it’s her destiny to fulfill her dying mother’s dream, but a mysterious hunter is hot on her trail the whole way.
The West was meant to be wild.
Solstice Dayton is the White Lady of the Wolves, an archer who lives in a nest with a dog, defending survivors in the lawless, snow-covered post-apocalyptic American West.

There’s good land in the West. Walk toward the setting sun. Take I-70 when you find it. Go north at Aurora, Colorado. Cut across Wyoming until you reach the parks. You’ll find clear skies. One thousand hours. Two thousand miles. Ten thousand feet up. That’s four million steps. It’ll take you ninety days. You’ll find sanctuary there.
