After the Slain is shot, Odymn and an Argenop elder work together to try and return him to good health. As they journey towards the Themble, survival is a challenge. Odymn must add to her foraging skills and survive an attack by the vicious kotildi and an encounter with a poisonous dangle-web. Little by little Wen-le-gone and Odymn begin to know something of the Slain and his background. When Wen-le-gone decides to leave for his home, Odymn decides to stay with the Slain. Gradually, they learn more about one-another and work together to survive the elements, the dangers of hunting and the perils of Odymn's history of abuse and tragedy.
Ever thought surviving first period-and facing her best friend's boyfriend, whom she recently kissed-would be the hardest part of her day. She was wrong.
The world is ending. Literally.
Between dodging awkward hallway interactions with her best friend's boyfriend and dodging the apocalypse, Ever discovers she may be the one person capable of saving mankind. No pressure, right? But just when she's barely wrapping her head around her destiny, a mysterious (and annoyingly handsome) stranger shows up. He drives her crazy, yet somehow feels...familiar. And he just might hold the key to unlocking Ever's forgotten past-and to stopping the strange, earth-shattering events unraveling the future.
As secrets unfold and loyalties are tested, Ever has to make a choice: walk away from the chaos and pretend the world isn't ending-or embrace her destiny and risk everything to save it.
After all, being a teenager is hard. Being the savior of humanity? That's a whole new level.
