In a world shattered by an unknown cataclysm, one man's journey becomes humanity's last hope.
Kal Duram is a survivor in a desolate wasteland-a lone figure navigating the skeletal remains of civilization where skyscrapers stand as hollow monuments to humanity's fallen ambition. His existence is a relentless cycle of scavenging for meager sustenance, purifying contaminated water, and maintaining constant vigilance against mutated predators that roam the barren plains. Each day is a battle against the gnawing emptiness of perpetual hunger and the crushing weight of solitude.
But when whispers reach Kal's ears-tales of a sanctuary hidden deep within the treacherous Colorado mountains, a place where clean water flows and communities still thrive-he faces the most dangerous choice of his life. Abandon the grim familiarity of his solitary existence for a phantom promise, or remain trapped in the endless cycle of survival without purpose.
The Edge of Destiny follows Kal's perilous trek across a broken America, from the dust-choked ruins of forgotten cities to the unforgiving heights of the Rocky Mountains. Along his journey, he encounters:
- Mutated horrors warped by the cataclysm that destroyed the world
- Ancient mysteries hidden within the mountain peaks
- Advanced technology from a lost civilization
- The K'tharr-evolved hominid guardians who protect the mountain's secrets with terrifying ferocity
- Celestial phenomena that suggest forces beyond human comprehension
As Kal ventures deeper into the heart of the mountains, he discovers that the sanctuary he seeks is not merely a refuge but the key to understanding what caused the Fall-and perhaps humanity's only chance at rebuilding. But the mountains hold their secrets closely, guarded by primal forces and ancient custodians who view all intruders as threats to be eliminated.
Praise for Lee Savage's previous works:
A master of post-apocalyptic storytelling who creates worlds that feel both terrifyingly real and hauntingly beautiful. - Book Review Quarterly
Perfect for fans of: The Road, The Stand, and The Passage.
The Edge of Destiny is an epic survival story that explores the limits of human endurance, the power of hope in the face of overwhelming despair, and the ancient mysteries that lie waiting in Earth's most inaccessible places. Will Kal find the sanctuary that could save humanity, or will he become another casualty of the mountain's treacherous embrace?
