Beverly Hills, California Dec 15, 2025 (Issuewire.com) - Ever spent a day without your phone and felt completely lost? Now, imagine a world where nothing with a battery or power cord works—not your car, not the internet, not the heating, not ever again. That chilling reality is the starting point for Sharlane Thuma's gripping new dystopian series, Haven The Series. This isn't your average slow-burn apocalypse; this is the world's most terrifying power outage, and humanity has instantly regressed to the 17th century.
Thuma invites readers into the immediate aftermath of a global war in 2055, where new weapons wiped out all electronics. It's a raw, immediate fight for survival where the biggest threat isn't just hunger, it’s the human capacity for cruelty.
About the Book
Haven The Series throws you straight into the deep end of the impossible. It’s the Summer of 2055, and as the author states, the world has "gone insane.” The sudden, universal failure of technology meant civilization didn't collapse—it was instantly hurled back 400 years.
The heart of the story belongs to Marc and Sienna. After a devastating year of fighting, losing loved ones, and watching their community become overrun with bandits "determined to take what they could," they make the hardest choice a parent can make: pack up and flee. Their goal is a desperate, year-long trek East to find a new beginning and establish a secure place they call "The Haven."
The narrative is a powerful mix of gritty survivalism and deep family drama. You'll follow the Hammers family—including their children and their newly blended family—as they learn to navigate a world where they must rely on old knowledge, simple tools, and sheer grit. The dangers are relentless, from securing food and water to facing down desperate, lawless individuals. The author masterfully shows how quickly societal norms dissolve when there is no police, no government, and no digital connection left.
The first book culminates with the family’s triumphant, emotional arrival. After enduring months of grueling travel, enduring the "tiny terrors" (the kids!) and avoiding bandits, they finally reach "Home"—a place of lush grass, huge buildings, and amazing corrals— a true beacon of hope and resilience built on the back of faith and fierce family unity. Haven The Series is a potent reminder that when everything is stripped away, family is all that remains.
