Terminus Island - Paperback

by Stefanie Jones (Author)

Andy and Wren Alexander were police officers who enjoyed a life and partnership on every level. Happily married and planning their escape from law enforcement, Andy is suddenly killed in an ambush on the job as Wren watches. Left alone with their four Standard Poodles, Wren struggles to cope.

Finn, the stoic, elder dog at six years old; a K9 officer who is trying desperately to understand life with three new puppies while watching over his human as she suffers through grief. Lilah, the fierce leader, quick to react, loyal and faithful. Freyja, the large goofy follower and Fern, the sweet, affectionate dog who binds them all together. As the puppies turn one year old, a new, deadly challenge presents itself: Super-C. The pack must now navigate violence and chaos as the extinction-level virus begins to ravage the world. A deadly combination of COVID-19, the flu and RSV, the virus does not discriminate. With only ten percent of humanity immune, bodies pile up, quarantines are put into place and Wren and her dogs must make their way to safety:

TERMINUS ISLAND

The island lies alone in the Atlantic, far off the coast of Maine. A quiet, self-sustaining island built with Andy's hands, completely off-grid. It's where the couple had prepared to retreat from their law enforcement careers with the dogs. The only problem: Wren swore she would never return to the island where every inch reminded her of Andy. Wren had never properly grieved her husband's loss. Instead, she bottled the pain and stuffed it inside in order to move on with life. Now, forced to return to protect her family, Wren must learn to heal and let go of the pain. Just as the pack settles in and starts carving out a life, the violence, greed and devastation from the mainland arrives on the shore of their sanctuary. Just when all seems lost, a tiny spark of hope is born.
