<b>The world has changed. It’s dangerous, deadly. Inhuman creatures rule the planet. Animals have mutated. The land is hostile. But it’s all I’ve ever known. Hunger. Fear. Panic. Those emotions are my reality. They are my every day. I am Avery, and I am seventeen. My father died a year ago. Since then I’ve been responsible for my
eight-year-old sister, June.
I worry we are the only humans left.
Humans have been hunted for centuries, to the brink of
extinction. I must fight each day to
protect my sister. It is the reason I
wake, the reason I breathe. But how long
can I go on fighting? How long will it
be before they find us?</b>
More than two hundred years into the future, human beings are
an endangered species. The planet has
been battered by war, its inhabitants plagued by disease and death. Few humans survived and remained
unaffected. Most changed dramatically
and evolved into something else entirely.
Irrevocable alterations caused by chemical warfare have created a new
species. North America is in ruins and
has been overtaken. Humanity has fallen
at the hands of mutants known as Urthmen.
Seventeen year-old Avery is alive and unchanged. But she has not been immune to the harshness
of the new world. She has lived on the
run for much of her life, in terror.
After losing her father, Avery is the sole guardian of her
eight-year-old sister, June. Avery is
now charged with June’s safety as well as her own, a nearly impossible task.
Forced to hide deep in the forest and away from the cities
overrun by Urthmen, Avery and her sister are
constantly hunted. Danger awaits them at
every turn. They fear they are the only
human beings left, that they are the last of their kind.
But are they truly alone?
