Thais Fenwick was eleven-years-old when civilization fell, devastated by a virus that killed off the
majority of the world’s population. For seven years, Thais and her family lived in a community of
survivors deep in the heart of the Appalachian Mountains. But when her town is attacked by raiders,
she and her blind sister are taken away to the East-Central Territory where she is destined to live
the cruel and unjust kind of life her late mother warned her about.

survivors deep in the heart of the Appalachian Mountains. But when her town is attacked by raiders,
she and her blind sister are taken away to the East-Central Territory where she is destined to live
the cruel and unjust kind of life her late mother warned her about.
Atticus Hunt is a troubled soldier in Lexington City who has spent the past seven years trying to
conform to the vicious nature of men in a post-apocalyptic society. He knows that in order to
survive, he must abandon his morals and his conscience and become like those he is surrounded
by. But when he meets Thais, morals and conscience win out over conformity, and he risks his
rank and his life to help her. They escape the city and set out together on a long and perilous
journey to find safety in Shreveport, Louisiana.
Struggling to survive in a world without electricity, food, shelter, and clean water, Atticus and
Thais shed their fear of growing too close, and they fall hopelessly in love. But can love survive
in such dark times, or is it fated to die with them?
Excerpt:
“THE IMPENDING ACHE.”
“Thais,” I said, “I do think you’re beautiful. I just—.” I couldn’t force myself to say the
things I really wanted: I want you to want this kiss, not because I’m the only man here to give
it to you. But her heartfelt speech about todays and yesterdays and tomorrows and the
very real possibility that there might not be another one, didn’t alleviate that thought—it
only reinforced it.

very real possibility that there might not be another one, didn’t alleviate that thought—it
only reinforced it.
In the end, after fighting with myself, all that mattered to me was what Thais wanted,
what Thais needed. And if it was simply a kiss she asked of me, then I would do it. For
her. Not for myself, though as much as I, too, wanted it, as much as I knew it would only
make my own needs and wants more unbearable, I would endure the impending ache if
it would ease hers.

I leaned toward her slowly; my eyes swept the curvature of her lips, the tiny hollow
beneath her nose, and I touched the left corner of her mouth with my own.
