As We Fall

Sephanie O'lora doesn't believe in the end of the world. Or the apocalypse. Or Doomsday. She bases her life off science, and science says she has at least another thousand years. So, to put it simply, Sephanie isn't worried.

Then her classmates start fainting. And they aren't waking up.

Suddenly, she's thrust into a world reminiscent of every science-fiction book ever written, and there's no longer any time to be a non-believer. It's the end of life as she knows it and the only thing she's got time for is survival.

But with the human race dropping left, right and centre, and the knowledge sitting in the base of her skull that any moment could be her last, surviving is harder than expected. And that's before she discovers that the Earth has visitors.

Now the world is in a new kind of chaos and no one seems to know why. But as the pieces of the puzzle begin to slip into place, Sephanie realises that the human race is not dying out, but being exterminated. And all signs point to her as being the cause.

The world is at its end, and this time, it's for real.
