ALIEN INVASION. SMALL-TOWN SURVIVAL. For fans of The 5th Wave and Gone—a tense YA apocalyptic thriller where the creatures don't just kill. They merge. Months ago, the Explorers arrived and healed millions. Including Sheldon's dad, who'd lost his sight in a farm accident. It felt like a miracle. It was bait. When they return, they come from the trees—and this time, they're not healing anyone. Most people die in the first wave. The strong are infected, merged over weeks into something obedient and hollow. The weak are tossed into pits. Fifteen-year-old Sheldon is separated from his father in the chaos and wakes to find the town collapsed, the radios silent, and survivors looking to him for answers he doesn't have. The merge spreads slowly, erasing identities one person at a time. Trust dies fast. And the line between saving someone and losing them forever gets thinner every day. The biggest question isn't whether they'll survive—it's whether they'll still be themselves when it's over. They Came From the Trees is Book 1 of 5 in a complete apocalyptic saga. If you love gritty survival, impossible choices, and characters fighting to stay human when humanity is the first thing to go—the entire saga is waiting. Start reading today.
