Days are Gone [2]

[Book 2]

When an unknown pathogen wiped out the majority of the population, the U.S. government turned to a desperate solution. Not through your typical vaccines, but human experimentation.

Countless lives were sacrificed in the pursuit of a cure. Tragically, the effort failed, or rather, was interrupted when one of the subjects escaped, bringing the program to an abrupt halt.

Only a few test subjects survived. To this day, they endure, carrying the irreversible scars of those experiments.

People call them... "Rejected Subjects."

After the war against the Navigators, Cyra was left in a devastating situation. She had lost almost everyone she cared about, including her closest friends.

The infected had overrun Trosta, transforming it from a safe haven into yet another desolate ruin.

With nothing left of her past to hold on to, Cyra found herself under the reluctant guidance of Sour, a man whose mission was tied to a promise made to her father, Chris. And that mission is to bring her back to Seattle.

For Isabelle's safety, Cyra and her group had no choice but to follow Sour's lead.

But the journey ahead was anything but safe. The Hounds' enigmatic second group lurked in the shadows, stalking their prey. Their path was riddled with danger, secrets, and the ever-present threat of death.
