Dark Friday

Aurora "Rory" Winter is a world-weary seventeen-year-old still grieving for a father she barely knew and living with a mother slowly losing touch with reality. Now, her grandfather, Axel, is dying, and Rory is losing her best friend and mentor. Spending Axel's last Thanksgiving at the family hunting retreat quickly becomes deadly when a savage enemy threatens them during a relentless blizzard.

Brothers Ahmed and Mohammet Abu Sharim walk a dangerous tightrope between the West and the Islamic Caliphate. But, when an old university mate procures the components for an atomic bomb, they become renegades on a mission to cross into America and wreak destruction. They enlist an enigmatic young jihadi named Ghazi for their trek across the border, but is Ghazi a loyal soldier or something more sinister?

Caught between the snowstorm and Ahmed's killers, Aurora and Ghazi become bitter enemies in a struggle that ignites in the north woods and builds to a shattering climax only one can survive.
