When The Trees All Burned
Book 1 in The Path That Takes Us Home
Forty years ago, on the night his mother died, Rajiv Montgomery Noah received a vision of fire that would consume the world. While others dismissed the growing signs of climate collapse, he devoted his life to an improbable task: building a sanctuary in the wilderness of northern Ontario—a dome erected over an abandoned mine, designed to shelter two hundred souls within the ancient forest.
Now, as the world teeters on the edge of catastrophe, Rajiv's dome stands as both monument and shelter—a testament to hope, hubris, and the weight of choosing who survives. But neither the dome's reinforced walls nor Rajiv's careful calculations can prepare its inhabitants for the moral complexity of being the chosen few, or shield them from the haunting question: what makes survival worthwhile when everything familiar has burned away?
When The Trees All Burned, the first novel in The Path That Takes Us Home series, is a meditation on grief, purpose, and human resilience in the face of environmental collapse. In the tradition of Station Eleven and The Road, it asks not just how we might survive a dying world, but who we become in the surviving.

PRESS RELEASE
The When The Trees All Burned ebook is available exclusively on Kindle and Kindle Unlimited
“This book. Wow. It is a book that will stay with me for a long time. I wanted it to end but also never to end, I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. The prophecies of Rajiv seem outlandish yet horrifyingly believable at the same time. You are captivated at every turn. Rusnak is a master wordsmith who weaves non linear sequencing, alternating perspectives, and complex characters to create a nuanced yet heart wrenching book about humanity and what really matters when our time ends. I am not normally a fan of apocalyptic literature but I cannot wait for the rest of this series!! Highly recommend!!”
