Five years ago, ordinary Americans fell under the grip of
a strange new malady that caused them to sleepwalk across
the country to a destination only they knew. They were
followed on their quest by the shepherds: friends and family
who gave up everything to protect them.
Their
secret destination: Ouray, a small town in Colorado that
would become one of the last outposts of civilization.
Because the sleepwalking epidemic was only the first in a
chain of events that led to the end of the world—and
the birth of a new one.
The survivors,
sleepwalkers and shepherds alike, have a dream of rebuilding
human society. Among them are Benji, the scientist
struggling through grief to lead the town; Marcy, the former
police officer who wants only to look after the people she
loves; and Shana, the teenage girl who became the first
shepherd—and an unlikely hero whose courage will be
needed again.
Because the people of Ouray are not
the only survivors, and the world they are building is
fragile. The forces of cruelty and brutality are amassing
under the leadership of self-proclaimed president Ed
Creel. And in the very heart of Ouray, the most powerful
survivor of all is plotting its own vision for the new
world: Black Swan, the A.I. who imagined the apocalypse.
Against these threats, Benji, Marcy, Shana, and the
rest have only one hope: one another. Because the only way
to survive the end of the world is together.
