6 weeks after the world began counting its days in fading sunsets, Ava finds herself at a complete loss. Cassie is away, Roy is gone, and the last time she saw Brad, he was bleeding from 3 stab wounds to his chest with his right leg chopped off. With Connor by her side, all she knows now is that she has to survive - because real life is no game. When rumours on the whereabouts of the Lightbringer - the elusive leader of the Pure - begin to surface among the myths, Ava and her friends decide to buff up their chances of survival with a welcome addition to their party. But with the Ferals and the Hostiles taking over the Earth, Ava once again feels she’s way underleveled for the big battle ahead. In the company of a cheery half-spider woman, a loyal dragon-horse, horned battle elves, and a host of stiff hopping corpses, Ava will have to unlock her own strength to fight the horrors of what’s to come.
