After World War III triggers a series of nuclear worldwide catastrophes, the Earth's orbit around the sun is shifted, creating scorching summers and ice-age winters that blend into each other within a matter of just a few days. The extreme climate change along with the terminal radiation levels that flood the planet kill off any living species unable to adapt within a matter of a few short months. Earth, as a result, has become a non-stop hostile environment where any remaining life form, plant and animal alike, has evolved to kill. Inevitably, mankind's only hope of survival lies uncertainly within the children, who have the most potential in adapting to survive in the new, almost inhabitable world. But just as the world around them is changing, the kids begin to learn more about the terrifying changes going on deep within their own bodies; evolutionary changes that in the original world would've been deemed impossible and superhuman. But they aren't alone. A sinister entity that has been lurking in quiet existence since the dawn of time is awakening. Something is causing the changes in humanity, accelerating the evolution of the world, causing things even nuclear fallout would have a hard time explaining... The first in a breathtaking saga of humanity's youngest battling the darkest corners of there existence, both inside and out, Gavin Zane's 'Shift: Horizons' will have you looking at the world in a whole new way.
