What to expect
For fans of Rick Yancey and Neal Shusterman, comes a thrilling tale of survival as dragon-like monsters invade, and two unlikely heroes must save humanity from annihilation.
When the monsters came, the power went out. Towns and cities became darkened ruins, and terrified survivors fled west, trailed by the blitz, dragon-like creatures screeching down from the sky enshrouded in lightning, delivering death.
The old world is ending, but not all hope is lost.
Left behind is a timid dreamer, Thomas, and a brash and outspoken daredevil, Cassie. When their paths unexpectedly cross, they must outwit both monsters and humans alike on an epic journey across a dangerous ravaged landscape if they hope to do the impossible: Reignite hope. Defeat the blitz. Save humanity.
In this postapocalyptic fantasy perfect for fans of Rick Yancey and Neal Shusterman, readers will find high-stakes adventure and compelling characters they won't soon forget.
Critics Review
A thrilling coming-of-age tale of survival, magic, maybe-miracles, and monsters. . . . I was hooked from the first page.
Truly original and breathtaking, this book is a marvelous ride! The action, tension, and drama burn at a high level.
Kirchmeier skillfully balances tension and wonder, making the book an engaging journey through a perilous yet enchanting world.
The book’s message that most of humanity might actually come together in kindness rather than violence at the end of the world is a refreshing one.
[A] propulsive adventure.
Themes of destiny, dreams, and intuition round out a well-paced story of survival.
