Marie is your everyday, average, eighteen-year- old girl whose biggest worry in life is going off to college. That is, until her world explodes on her. Literally. When the ash and dust settle, Marie makes the decision to fight for survival and find others who have survived. She treks on foot for hundreds of miles across the plains, experiencing all things dangerous in a post-apocalyptic world, questioning everything she’s ever known, and believing she just might be the only one left. But when she finally finds other survivors, she learns that her survival, and theirs, is more than just coincidence. In the first part of Ashley Marie Spencer’s debut series, Marie will find out that she is anything but ordinary. That she is destined for more than she ever imagined in her wildest dreams.
