Hailing from Verona, Italy, Kara relocates to a small, quiet town with her dad after her parents' divorce, leaving her mom and her old life behind. Quiet and reserved, she's far from the center of attention, struggling to adjust to her new reality in a place that feels nothing like home.
But Kara's world is about to be turned upside down. What begins as an ordinary day takes a terrifying turn when a tragedy strikes close to her. One terrible accident causes her classmate to return as something far from human. Unbeknownst to her, this is the beginning of something much darker.
As Kara tries to survive in a world now teetering on the edge of destruction, she will have to embrace a new strength within herself, becoming the leader she never thought she could be. The First to Fall is a gripping tale of survival, resilience, and discovering the courage to fight when everything is lost.
