When the world collapses, innocence becomes a target. Dillon and Jenny flee St. Louis-only to discover a evil trade that thrives on silence.

Twelve-year-old Dillon Childs loses everything the moment the Civil War reaches his doorstep. Sent to St. Louis with his little sister Jenny under the protection of a trusted preacher, he instead finds himself abandoned in a brutal city where children vanish without a trace. With winter, hunger, and violence pressing in, Dillon makes a reckless decision: he'll take Jenny home on foot-no matter what waits on the road. But as the miles stretch behind them, Dillon uncovers a nightmare far darker than war itself: a hidden trade in stolen boys, run by men who wear kindness like a mask. And when the truth leads back to Dillon's own home, he realizes there's no safe place left-only the fight to outrun the hunters and expose the evil that's been waiting for him all along.
