The plague. An image of a rotting corpse coated in sores and ulcers is enough to define its effect. It has been two years since the outbreak they call Morbus Rosea, the fatal illness spreading among all women - All but one. I am Sahara Dhillon, and I am wanted as a breeder. I am the only woman left in the human race and they need me to keep this nightmarish planet breathing. But I am not a tool. Or a breeding machine. I am a person and I am alone - I have not seen another human in what has felt like a lifetime, though who knows how long my existence will be out in the woods I call home. I have no one; I do not remember my father's face, but I know he was a "bad man" like all the others. My sister died in my arms from the excruciating illness, and my poor mother, with her eyes wide, used her last breath to say, "Run."

Sanctuary

Sanctuary. That was what the quarantine dome was supposed to be, a place of refuge from the N-Gel and the deadly Neoplague they unleashed on the world. But we aren't safe here. Senna is uprooted from her rural life in the outer dome when her mother agrees to marry the President of Sanctuary. It was supposed to be a Cinderella story, but Senna can't stand the health and status obsessed city. Her only escape comes from repairing an antique piece of wireless tech, an endeavor that is seemingly hopeless due to the interference that reduced such tech useless after the invasion. Senna believes that if she can get the device to work, she can use it to contact the life she left behind. However, it isn't her old life she reaches when she gets the device to power on. Instead she catches the SOS of a little girl who claims to be held captive in the toxic world outside of the dome. The girl offers a reward for her rescue-the cure for the plague that forced humanity into quarantine and took Senna's father from her.
