Day Zero

The Blackout Chronicles Book 1

By Ryan Casey

A harrowing post-apocalyptic survival adventure from the bestselling author of The Infected Chronicles and Dead Days.

Two families apart. Forty-eight hours until the lights go out.


When an ominous warning spreads across the nation about a catastrophic solar storm, panic ignites. Within days, everything that depends on power will be gone.

Lily has already lost once. Haunted by anxiety and tragedy, she’s barely holding her life together when the announcement hits. Her son, Alex, is miles away from home on a school trip—and as the countdown to impact begins, she faces an impossible journey through a country descending into chaos.

In the remote countryside, Bethany and her friends plan to wait it out. But when they stumble upon a violent group with their own designs for survival, their haven becomes a trap—and Bethany is forced to grow up faster than she ever imagined.

As fear spreads and order unravels, two paths move closer, each driven by love, survival, and the fragile hope of reunion before Day Zero arrives.

The Blackout Chronicles is a tense, human story of ordinary lives on the edge of collapse—where courage means facing not only the dark outside, but the one within.
