First came the comet. Then came the fires. Now we fight to save what's left. Baptiste, stranded 500 miles from his wife and daughter, at the northern edge of civilization, has made a vow to protect a teenage girl from the chaos that surrounds them. But as food and fuel runs out, and even friends prove they can't be trusted, Baptiste realizes that this promise won't be easy to keep. Warning: Due to the setting and subject matter (post-apocalyptic North America), this novel contains foul language and scenes of violence.
