AFTER THE FALL

Thirteen years after the Collapse, the world belongs to nature and the Hollow—zombie-like creatures that roam the overgrown ruins of civilization. Almost every adult vanished, leaving behind a generation forced to build their own society from the ashes. Hidden deep within a forest clearing stands The Lightning, a fortified settlement of just twenty-three young survivors aged 9–22, each assigned to one of four factions that keep the Camp alive. When you’re found alone in the wilderness, you’re dragged back as a prisoner—not a guest. Trust is earned, secrets run deep, rival settlements threaten the fragile peace, and somewhere beyond the trees lies the truth about the missing adults and the world that was lost.
