True Light: Christian Thriller Where Survival Is Only the Beginning 3 - Paperback

by Terri Blackstock (Author)

From New York Times bestselling suspense author Terri Blackstock comes the third installment in her gripping survival series, where fear, hunger, and suspicion threaten to tear a fragile community apart--and one young man's life hangs in the balance.

Eight months into a worldwide blackout, the residents of Oak Hollow are barely surviving. Winter has settled in, food is scarce, and desperation is beginning to eclipse compassion. In a world without power or certainty, even good people are capable of terrible choices.

When a teenage friend of the Brannings is found shot while hunting--and the deer he killed is stolen--blame falls quickly on Mark Green, the son of a convicted murderer. Before Mark has a chance to defend himself, vigilantes pressure the sheriff into making an arrest, proving just how thin the line between justice and fear has become.

Deni Branning refuses to believe Mark is guilty. As their bond deepens, she sees not a criminal, but a young man being sacrificed to the town's panic. Determined to uncover the truth, Deni and the Brannings set out to find the real killer--but clearing Mark's name is only the beginning. Protecting him from a community ready to condemn him may be even more dangerous.

True Light is a compelling choice for thriller fans who enjoy high-stakes suspense grounded in moral complexity, and an excellent pick for book clubs seeking meaningful discussion. With a thoughtful note from the author and included discussion questions, readers are invited to explore the novel's deeper themes of justice, mercy, fear, and faith long after the final page.
