Thirty-three years after the world collapsed—and eighteen years after her parents were killed—Emily survives on hard habits and harder memories.
Haven’s Reach was supposed to be a break from the constant running: a settlement with walls, rules, and the chance to build something that might last. Then the infected come in numbers no one has seen in years—and not like animals, but like an army.
When the refuge falls, Emily is taken by the Anarchists, a faction that doesn’t just want control—they want ruin. To get free, she will have to learn why the Anarchists can pull the infected like a trigger… and what they want with what’s left of the human world.
Loss made her dangerous. Survival made her disciplined. Now revenge is offering her a purpose—and a cost.
