About this book

The apocalypse continues. The Changed population grows while the Spared face uncertain survival. Alex, who was fleeing her past and internal struggles before the EM Ps destroyed civilization, sought refuge at Rule with those she cared about. That sanctuary proves illusory. Alex now fights for survival against multiple threats: adults who would exploit her, survivors who distrust her, and the Changed who would kill her. This second book in the Ashes Trilogy presents a world where safety is scarce and humans themselves may pose the greatest danger.
