Awakening in a bleak landscape as scarred as her body, Cass
Dollar vaguely recalls surviving something terrible. Wearing
unfamiliar clothes and having no idea how many days—or
weeks—have passed, she slowly realizes the horrifying truth:
Ruthie has vanished.
And with her, nearly all of civilization. Where once-lush
hills carried cars and commerce, the roads today see only
cannibalistic Beaters—people turned hungry for human flesh
by a government experiment gone wrong.
In a broken, barren California, Cass will undergo a
harrowing quest to get her Ruthie back. Few people trust an
outsider, let alone a woman who became a zombie and somehow
turned back, but she finds help from an enigmatic outlaw,
Smoke. Smoke is her savior, and her safety. For the Beaters
are out there. And the humans grip at survival with their
trigger fingers. Especially when they learn that she and
Ruthie have become the most feared, and desired, of weapons
in a brave new world....
