Description

When an electromagnetic pulse devastates the world, seventeen-year-old Alex—a girl running from a terminal diagnosis—finds herself thrust into a nightmarish new reality alongside Tom, a war-weary soldier, and Ellie, a fierce eight-year-old survivor. As civilization crumbles and the dead rise with terrifying new abilities, the unlikely trio must navigate a transformed landscape where the rules of survival have fundamentally changed. With some of the remaining population developing superhuman senses while others succumb to a horrifying transformation, Alex and her companions face impossible choices and mounting dangers at every turn. Ilsa J. Bick crafts a gripping post-apocalyptic thriller that explores what it means to fight for life when the world itself has become unrecognizable, blending intense action with deeply human moments of connection and sacrifice.
