Gwen, a 13 year old girl originally from Manchester, has been found, along with many other living things, by an apocalypse. She battles against mutated animals, cannibalistic cannibals and inedible green water, whilst still trying to grip on to her sanity. As she slowly goes crazy, Gwen realizes that she must try and make the most of whatever's left of her life rather than just sitting in an underground bunker rubbing open wounds with dried fruit. Whilst struggling to find her father (who was once a successful magician), it is clear to her that there is only one illusion here in the wasteland, trust.

THE RISKS
"You can't tell me there isn't something here worth risking everything for." [New Adult Apocalyptic Romance] Summary: There are some things that you can't outrun. That becomes all the more obvious when the world is ending, when there's nothing left but the feral creatures that were once people, consumed now by a virus that's made them cannibalistic and ravenous. It might just be easier to end it all, but Claire still has one last thing to fight for. Her younger sister. And she intends to keep her safe, no matter the cost. So, with no other options and her sister in tow, Claire ventures out into the dangers of this new, unforgiving world in search of safety, security, and answers to some long burning questions. The first two things -along with some new, unexpected questions- she finds in an unlikely place: a stranger who she's become indebted to. She has a feeling he can help her answer all her questions, if she can allow herself to fully trust him. Trust, she thinks, is a fragile thing. Humanity, a construct. Love, a weakness. But these are the thoughts of a survivor, and she's beginning to wonder if surviving is all she wants. Maybe she wants to live.
