About this book

When a devastating plague sweeps the world on New Year's Eve, civilization crumbles and magic mysteriously awakens in humanity's survivors—but so does danger in forms both magical and all too human. Lana, a practicing witch, and Max flee a destroyed New York City alongside a ragtag group of other survivors: a tech genius, a determined journalist, a young paramedic protecting orphaned infants, and others searching for safety in an unrecognizable world. As they journey west into an uncertain future, these strangers discover that their meeting is no accident and that each of them holds a vital piece of a greater purpose. It's an epic tale of resilience, found family, and the spark of hope that ignites when everything else has burned away.

AI-generated synopsis

Dark orchestral sounds meet indie folk resilience—think Bon Iver's isolation, Florence + The Machine's raw intensity, and haunting synth-wave undertones. Blend apocalyptic atmosphere with moments of tender connection and cautious hope amid chaos.
