In the quiet Northwoods of Wisconsin, Dalton Grinder was looking for a fresh start. What he found was a town on the edge of collapse, with riots, lawlessness, and enemies closing in from the shadows.
When violence erupts inside the small town of Birchwood, Dalton makes a choice that changes how the community sees him forever. No longer just the outsider, he becomes a protector, a man willing to stand between Birchwood and the dangers pressing in.
But survival is not only about one man. As neighbors rally, unlikely allies step forward, and even old grudges are set aside. A fragile tribe begins to take shape. Sheriff Olson, George Severson, Nora, Javi, and the rest of Birchwood know the fight is not over. It is only just beginning.
Dalton is no longer standing alone. He has a community behind him, yet with every gain comes new risks. The fences around his cabin are more than boundaries now—they mark the line where survival meets a world slipping deeper into chaos.
Battlefield Birchwood is a story of transformation, loyalty, and the grit of small-town America. When the world goes sideways, it's people like these who will rebuild what has been lost.
Previous release in this series
Dalton Grinder's life had unraveled in a brutal series of blows. First, the Army cast him aside. Then, his wife walked out, leaving him with nothing but the hollow echo of a once-shared life. As if that wasn't enough, his last remaining relative—his grandfather—passed away, closing the final chapter of his family history. Born and bred in the heat and humidity of Florida, Dalton now finds himself heading north to the cold, unforgiving woods of Wisconsin to settle his grandfather’s affairs.
But fate isn't done with him yet.
As Dalton arrives, the South is teetering on the edge of chaos. Legacy media dubs it an ‘insurrection,’ but the whispers on the ground speak of something far more ominous—the dawn of a new civil war. Birchwood Burning, the first book in the North of Eden series, unfolds against the backdrop of the Eden event, an apocalyptic event first introduced in Pete’s bestselling Three Days to Eden.
Dalton is about to discover that his battles are far from over.
