Post-apocalyptic horror gets a “brilliant, haunting, original” twist in this gripping survival story for fans of The Last of Us (Den of Geek).
“Teeming with the spirit of feminist speculative trailblazers like Margaret Atwood, Ursula K. Le Guin . . . channels the eerie spirit of Kelly Link and the environmental surrealism of Jeff VanderMeer” (Kirkus).

Discover the Beauty.
