In January 2016, the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge headquarters in Oregon is seized and occupied by angry ranchers and armed militants. Tension develops between the occupiers and law enforcement, and the citizens of Harney County find themselves in a land divided--those in favor of the occupation and those opposed.

At the same time, Navy SEAL Shawn Bryant returns home to Burns, Oregon after narrowly avoiding a criminal conviction in Afghanistan. He is faced with his mother's illness, a blossoming romance and emotions surfacing from his childhood and from his time at war. Soon he and his extended ranch family are swept up in the turmoil surrounding this quiet, rural community. He is forced to rely on his SEAL training to protect his family and himself from a rogue group of militants and ranchers attempting to expand the occupation.

Suspenseful, provocative, and even humorous, A Land Divided is a surprisingly redemptive novel that will leave you wanting more.
