Mark Phillips
Meghan is a woman who seeks refuge on the reserve along with her husband, Brad, Alex Richer, and Mark Phillips (whom Scott kills when they first arrive). Brad joins forces with Scott, so Meghan ends up living under Scott’s authority. Together, the men subjugate Meghan, forcing her to hunt even though she doesn’t know how to and punishing her when she fails to deliver food to Scott. Meghan grows thinner, weaker, and more hateful of Scott and Brad as the winter progresses, ultimately prompting her to turn on them and shoot Scott in the back, killing him.

Chapter 30 Quotes
As Scott turned to fire on Tyler and Isaiah, his head burst open above his left eye in a spray of blood, bone, and brain. He fell forward. Meghan Connor stood on the back porch with the rifle sight up to her eye. […] Scott lay face down, motionless, as blood leaked from his head into the snow, spreading crimson across the white. […] Isiah […] looked to Meghan on the porch, still holding her rifle. She nodded, and trained her gun on her husband and his
friend, who froze in place.
