An oil-eating bug has infected the world's oilfields and within weeks, it is a thing of the past. The world is thrust back into a primal age. Billions perish. The survivors gather in fragile camps, battling for the most basic necessities: fresh water, safety, sanity.
For Emily, Bird, Miriam, and their community, the struggle for survival is already a desperate fight. But when a new, unthinkable threat descends upon them, they are cast out from their fragile sanctuary into a vast, merciless wilderness.They are unprepared. They are vulnerable. And they are being hunted.In a broken world, desperation reveals true character-breeding both unlikely heroes and monsters of unimaginable cruelty. Their flight is more than a battle against hunger and thirst; it's a battle for their very humanity in a world where the line between survivor and savage has been erased.
