Where Ravens Drown (The Silent Republic)

Some fortresses are taken by force. Others are won by offering hope.

Łukasz isn’t like the other raiders terrorizing the dam’s engineers. While Kruk rules through brutality, Łukasz sees what the tyrant cannot – fear makes a weak foundation. When the moment comes, his takeover is swift and surgical.

But seizing power is only the beginning.

When military “Cleaners” armed with thermal scopes and robotic hunters start exterminating settlements across the wasteland, Łukasz faces his first crisis as leader. These aren’t raiders – they’re true believers completing the purification the Flash began. And they’ve marked the dam for elimination.

His only hope: an alliance with Zofia “Ruda” Górska, the Iron Saint whose trading depot survived years in post-nuclear wasteland. Together, they must transform a fortress built on terror into something worth dying for.

Because in a world where civilization hangs by a thread, building something lasting is the ultimate rebellion.

A brutal post-apocalyptic thriller for fans of The Road and Metro 2033.
