Martha's Mirror

Martha's Mirror is the highly anticipated sequel to Martha's Vine,

a post-apocalyptic saga set in

Alberta, Canada, and written by Edmonton author, Sheree Zielke.

A WORLD WITHOUT POWER

A WORLD WHERE THE CRUELLEST REIGN

A WORLD WHERE WOMEN ARE SOLD LIKE CATTLE

A pallor of death has settled over the Canadian province of Alberta--a post-apocalyptic world

sagging under a total loss of electricity.

The necessities of life are disappearing: fuel, food, ammunition. But the Gatekeeper's people

struggle on. They have lost many men in a battle with a biker king, The Man. Worse, their

women and children have been taken hostage, and are destined for eastern Canada--to be sold as

"clean" women to the Mafia.

The Gatekeeper, Matthew, is plagued by guilt over faulty decisions he made in the defense of his

compound. His wife, Martha, takes a bullet to her chest--shot by Brad--in an attempt to free the

captives--including her daughters and grandchildren. Matthew vows to make amends, but an

early winter and a record snowfall get in his way.

Meanwhile, Brad, a traitor and a murderer...has plans of his own--cruel plans that will forever

change the lives of Martha and her adult daughters, Ruth and Elizabeth.

No one knows about the evil that awaits them in Drumheller--a city nestled in the southern

Alberta Badlands--home to mystical hoodoos and the world's largest dinosaur.

For some, the ancient Badlands will mean...revenge and retribution. But for others, Drumheller

will mean...extinction.

~~~Brad, Ruth thought. She swiped at an angry tear. She clenched her teeth and re-shouldered her

long gun. I can handle a few hours of this. A seed of hope began to grow. Then Mom can take over.~~~

But she didn't know that a new hell was coming...

And it was going to last for months.

"A scared woman is capable of a great deal...very capable."
