When low-flying planes shower Lina Schuster’s hometown of Hanau, Germany, with a strange, white mist, she has no choice but to believe her conspiracy-minded friend Sofie’s theories of a Great Reset.

It’s been a year since Lina Schuster lost her mother—just another in the long line of casualties of the ongoing pandemic. After helping her father cope, as well as battling her own depression and bouts of panic attacks, Lina is finally ready to get back on her feet. When she starts a new job at a small electronics store, Lina meets Sofie, a conspiracy-driven coworker, who seems convinced a secret global government is out to control the population by striking down the poor, the weak, and anyone who resists their ways.

Lina thinks Sofie is simply delusional… until low-flying planes appear and shower her town with a strange, white mist. When the aftermath of the event reveals Sofie’s theory could be right, Lina finds herself leading a group of survivors to a supposed sanctuary in hopes to keep them from being culled into nonexistence.

All over the world, from small rural towns to big cities, from Alaska to South Africa, something is happening. Though events differ from place to place, all point to the same chilling outcome: the implementation of a New World Order by the global elite. Their goal—to centralize the world’s power and wealth into their own hands, and to control humanity. But first they need to cull the human population to sustainable levels, and their plans have begun. Wave One of Operation Black Mariah has begun.

Welcome to the world of Marie D. Jones Presents Black Mariah, a harrowing near-future ripped from today’s headlines that dares to look at what might come next. This is a world of conspiracies and cover-ups, of lies and deception, of chaos and confusion, and of small groups of people who realize the only way to survive is to harness the power of the human spirit. To defy and persist. In the wake of the quest for survival, a revolution called “Defiance” is born.

This is a stand-alone story in the Black Mariah Shared World, a collaborative effort by authors from all across the globe whose characters react and respond to the same events, but in their own unique ways. Each story takes the reader on a journey of one of these characters, allowing for multiple perspectives to unfold. The only thing these characters have in common is that they survived Wave One. But will they survive what’s to come?
