The world as we know it ended in 2184. It is now the spring of 2439, and the world couldn't be bleaker for Narah Klick. Alone, no allies, and starving each night. Between the Wastelands and the brutal gangs that will kill for a scrap, her survival so far has been a miracle. She has managed to survive another winter, and a sliver of hope grows as the weather warms. Meanwhile, Dex Cain strives to be the best in a gang that was once a mere ghost story--the Forsaken. Being a Forsaken meant food and supplies, but didn't come without it's dangers. Plagued by memories and visions in the fog of the Wastelands, Dex is slipping further from his friends as his paranoia grows. When their worlds are thrown together, Nya's unpredictable nature and Dex's strong personality clash like flint and steel, sending sparks that are sure to burn others.
