Nineteen years since the world ended and the fight for survival was constant. People had gathered in Western Oregon from all over the country, each with their own story of survival. Each fighting to make the world better, and perhaps regain some of what has been lost.
Brent Tanner, first of the children born after the end of the world, was on patrol in what used to be known as Southern Oregon when someone tried to kill him for no reason. A pretty female type someone.
Hanna had escaped a past filled with terrors and a future filled with slavery. The only thing she knew in this life was that no one could be trusted. Especially men. When she is captured by Brent after trying to kill him, she knows her life is over. Any chance of freedom is gone forever.
Surprisingly, Brent turned out to be the kind of man willing to help, not hurt. Working together, they will attempt to save the people she left behind. And maybe Hanna can learn what civilization can be.
