The world has ended.
Only remains the last flicker of what was.
The world has ended,
And in its hollow
Ruin, nightmares endure.
A scarred wanderer, his torment born of decay,
A fleeing survivor, trading one cage for another,
And a boy, whose innocence cruelty devours.
For him, an open wound.
For her, a fragile freedom.
For them, the only thing left.
The world has ended, and in fading twilight,
Survival threads them as one-
Bound by purpose, lost to the shadows.
What to expect:
- A more traditionnal novel in structure
- Character growth
- Descriptive language
- Multiple POVs
- Anonymous people you get to know
- A mix of tension, introspection and action
"Like a last-turn Jenga tower - everything is perfectly set up for one big collapse. "
