Twenty years after the world ended, the children of the outbreak are all that's left of humanity.
Fort Hope was supposed to keep them safe - a fortress of order built atop the bones of the old world. But when seventeen-year-old Lena Ward's best friend, Mira, is bitten and doesn't turn, everything the survivors believe about the infection shatters.
To protect Mira from execution, Lena and her friends break her out of the colony and flee into the ruins beyond the dam. There they uncover the ghost of a lost civilization - and a secret buried deep beneath the earth. The virus wasn't nature's mistake. It was engineered. And some of the immune were never meant to exist.
Now, hunted by soldiers and haunted by the undead, Lena must decide what it means to be human in a world that no longer remembers what humanity is.
As Mira begins to change in ways no one can explain, the line between the living and the infected blurs - and the truth about Sanctum may decide the fate of them all.
