One moment, nine-year-old Swan is a girl drifting between trailer parks with her mother. The next, nuclear fire reduces civilization to ash. From the ruins emerge survivors—some desperate, some monstrous, all changed forever.
On Manhattan’s streets, a homeless woman follows the guidance of a cursed amulet. In the mountains of Idaho, an orphan learns survival through violence. Across the Great Plains, Swan discovers she has a gift—visions of the future and a strange power to heal.
But her visions also reveal something worse: a malevolent shape-shifter born of apocalypse itself. It is coming for her. And in a world of madmen, mutants, and dust storms, this child is humanity’s final hope against extinction. If she falters, so does mankind.
