Love and Ruin

When the Wraiths came, they didn't care about cliques. Now, six teens from wildly different corners of high school are forced to rely on each other to survive. Forget popularity contests and prom-this is about staying alive, and nobody's winning.

Eden Lamar, the glittering queen of parties, isn't used to breaking a nail, let alone breaking skulls. The apocalypse isn't kind to the spoiled, but beneath the gloss, Eden might just have the grit to fight for more than her own survival.

Rhys Sterling, the brooding bad boy with a chip on his shoulder, is no hero. But fate has a cruel sense of humor, and now he's stuck protecting people he can't stand-including Eden, who's somehow both infuriating and impossible to ignore.

Logan Hale, the golden boy quarterback, is used to leading teams, not navigating the undead. His sunny optimism might be the only thing holding this fractured group together, but even heroes have their limits.

Talia Rivera, the sharp-tongued goth, was already surviving high school on the fringes. Turns out, she's got the brains and the bite for the apocalypse-and no patience for drama.

Naomi Patel, the overachieving nerd, has the book smarts to outwit the infected, but no amount of studying prepared her for heartbreak and danger on this scale.

Zane Lykaios, the class clown, keeps the group laughing even as the world burns. But humor only hides fear for so long, and Zane might crack before the apocalypse does.

Six teens. One ruined world. And a lot of awkward, messy, electric feelings in between.

Surviving the end of the world is one thing-surviving each other might be even harder.
