Five years after the world fell to the Great Shift-a mysterious phenomenon that turned people into savage, bloodthirsty husks-Ava and her brother Noah have managed to survive alone on a remote island. But when Noah sails away in search of supplies and never returns, Ava is left with dwindling resources, mounting grief, and a single, desperate plan: to end her life.
That is, until a stranger washes ashore.
Wounded, enigmatic, and infuriatingly sexy, Ezra claims there's a safe place hidden near the Arctic Circle-a last refuge known only as The Northern Sanctuary. With nothing left to lose, Ava agrees to journey north with him through hostile wilderness, hordes of the Shifted, and survivors with their own twisted agendas.
But the further they go, the more secrets unravel about Ezra, about the world, and about what truly happened the day the Great Shift began.
And as the cold closes in, so does something even more dangerous: the pull between two people who've never been more alone ... or more afraid to love.
