She's 16, alone, and on the run.
Two years after her world was turned tragically upside down, fiercely independent Willa Sams lives on the fringes of a collapsing society. She's lost everything -- her family, her home, even her dog. All she has left is hope, and that happens to be in dwindling supply.In this increasingly uncertain world, there's safety in numbers, so she reluctantly hooks up with a roving band of political and climate refugees. But that brings its own unique set of dangers, which she discovers when the group's self-appointed leader sets his sights on Willa as his next conquest. She's not interested; he's not convinced. When the promise of shared power doesn't win her over, he resorts to violence. When that fails, he threatens banishment.
But here in the heart of Defender country, in the Pacific Northwest of an increasingly divided United States of America, striking out on your own is tantamount to a death sentence. Willa doesn't like being backed into a corner, and she'll fight tooth and nail to keep her own freedom. But is she willing to kill for it?
