After the First Hit, only darkness remains. After the Second Hit, only the lucky escape. And after Third, only the unlucky remains. After the Fourth Hit, only one rule applies: Trust No One.
Now, it's the dawn of the Big One, and on a lonely stretch of highway, Lucy runs from Them. The beings only took human, who roam the countryside killing anyone they see. Who have scattered Earth's last survivors.
To stay alone is to stay alive, Lucy believes, until she meets Raven Ellis. Beguiling and mysterious, Raven Ellis may be Lucy's only hope for rescuing her brother- or even saving herself. But Lucy must choose: between trust and despair, between defiance and surrender, between life and death. To give up or to get up.
She can see the future, her name is Jill Morie. They are Peculiars, they exist. And this is their tale.
*****
Jill Morie, the girl who can see the future, never wants her power and believes that every event in the universe is already determined. Until one day, she decided to interfere with fate to compensate for her guilt.
And this is the beginning of her quest. She then discovered that there are other beings like her who have exceptional abilities and a secret organization called 'Memoire' who hunts them down.
