In 1982, a Soviet bioweapon escapes into the jet stream. Within weeks, it transforms humanity into winged predators. Sixty years later, the survivors call them Gargoyles, and the sky belongs to them.
Eighteen-year-old Rowan is a Still-Blood, one of the dwindling remnants of uninfected humanity scratching out survival in the ruins of San Angeles. Born fifteen years after the Sundering-the catastrophic event that transformed most of humanity into monstrous, winged Gargoyles, Rowan knows only a world of dust, silence, and constant predation. An orphan since age ten, Rowan survives by hunting the creatures that once were human, trading kills for water and scraps in a world where technology is dead and cities are graveyards.
When the Sky Fell is a post-apocalyptic fantasy that blends survival horror with hope, exploring themes of preserved knowledge, lost humanity, and the question of whether monsters can remember what they once were. Perfect for readers who loved The Passage, World War Z, and Station Eleven.
