Among Those Who Remain

For three years, humanity has been at war with the supernatural world.

Werewolves. Witches. Vampires. Mermaids. Dragons.

They were once creatures humans believed belonged in myths and nightmares. Now they rule the Earth-and humans are losing.

Thirteen-year-old Rayla Mei Winters has already lost more than most people her age should ever have to endure. Her father, Brad, was drafted into the war when she was twelve. Six months before humanity's evacuation, he was killed in battle, leaving Rayla and her mother, Autumn, to face the final months of the war without him.

Then the human governments make the decision no one wanted to hear.

Earth must be abandoned.

Humanity is given a final chance to escape aboard enormous evacuation ships before the supernatural kingdoms take complete control of the planet.

Rayla and Autumn intend to leave together.

But when the evacuation begins, chaos tears through the crowds.

And Rayla disappears into the woods.

Alone on an Earth that no longer belongs to humanity, Rayla has only her survival instincts, the lessons her parents taught her, and the few pieces of her family she managed to carry with her.

A photograph.

A letter.

A compass.

And the memories of the people she loved.

But Rayla soon discovers that surviving alone is harder than she ever imagined.

The supernatural creatures she was taught to fear are real-and some of them are hunting humans who remained behind.

Yet not every monster is what it seems.

A wounded werewolf pup.

A lonely witch hiding from his own family.

And eventually, people Rayla never expected to trust.

As Rayla's world grows larger, so does the danger surrounding her.

Because Earth may have been abandoned by humanity...

but it was never abandoned by the supernatural world.

And among those who remain, Rayla will have to discover what family truly means-and whether belonging is something you're born into...

or something you choose.
