The Petroleum Wars - by A L Willingham (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

Step into the world of "The Petroleum Wars"-a breathtaking dystopian novel of loyalty, rebellion, and survival!​

In the aftermath of civilization-shattering World War III, fragile peace gives way to division and unrest. The Branch Collective controls a network of isolated zones, its rule meant to protect survivors-but with protection comes control, and resistance simmers close beneath the surface. When General Cashel Brennan splits from the Collective, chaos erupts beyond the zone walls, threatening everything the remaining survivors have built.

Fable Lane, a hardened orphan seeking redemption and safety for those he loves, finds himself at the heart of a rebellion. Together with his brother Fisher and a band of misfits, Fable must navigate betrayal, violence, and shifting alliances to keep his last remaining family-and the innocent survivors-safe from both tyranny and invading armies. But safety comes at a cost, forcing Fable to confront what it truly means to survive-and whether the price of peace is worth the blood spilled.

Meanwhile, teenager Iz Morgan faces her own battles as the daughter of a senator, with her family-and her future-increasingly threatened by the harsh realities of car bombings, martial law, and the relentless grip of the so-called "petroleum wars." Torn between duty and defiance, Iz risks everything to protect the least fortunate, her courage blossoming in her work with war victims and orphaned children.​

In a world where choices are scarce and freedom is fleeting, every act of kindness or rebellion could change the fate of a community. "The Petroleum Wars" is a story of found family, loss, and the fight to reclaim hope in a landscape devastated by greed, betrayal, and unending war.

Perfect for fans of dystopian fiction, heartfelt character journeys, and pulse-pounding suspense, this book blends emotional depth, action, and social commentary into an unforgettable reading experience.
