The world ended, half burned away by a sun split in two and the other destroyed by nuclear war. Rue was born the day this happened, an abomination born in a lab, but her life is only beginning at sixteen. She is stepping out of her home to meet a whole new world... For those Rue meets it is both a familiar world and a horrifying one. Mutations, demons, and other creatures rule the planet now. Those who survive either become monsters or fight them. The truth behind it all may all be connected to her.
