It wasn't fate,
nor was it the universe's guidance.
It was an unfortunate sequence of events that led to Marlena Alderidge's existence. Events that placed her right in the middle of a world of danger, deceit, and violence.
The remnants of a world ravaged by disaster and disease, with little humanity left to fight and survive both the wasteland and each other.
After being found alone in Redstone city, Marlena joins a new crew...despite Lucien's annoyance.
Youngest of eight, protective older brothers, and a dystopian world of dominating men, Marlena's life hasn't been normal.
And it's about to get a whole lot harder...
