Life was different in the Before: before vampires began
devouring humans in a swarm across America; before the
surviving young people were rounded up and quarantined.
These days, we know what those quarantines are — holding
pens where human blood is turned into more food for the
undead monsters, known as Ticks. Surrounded by electrical
fences, most kids try to survive the Farms by turning on
each other…
And when trust is a thing of the past, escape is nearly
impossible.
Lily and her twin sister Mel have a plan. Though Mel can
barely communicate, her autism helps her notices things no
one else notices — like the portion of electrical fence
that gets turned off every night. Getting across won’t be
easy, but as Lily gathers what they need to escape, a
familiar face appears out of nowhere, offering to help…
Carter was a schoolmate of Lily’s in the Before. Managing
to evade capture until now, he has valuable knowledge of
the outside world. But like everyone on the Farm, Carter
has his own agenda, and he knows that behind the Ticks is
an even more dangerous threat to the human race...
