Description
One woman’s journey through the chaotic new world.
Those left standing make the paths for the future generations.
Those left standing make the paths for the future generations.
When the Mother Nature decides she’s had enough and begins to fight back,
survival takes on a whole new meaning.
If the earth is the enemy – there are no rules and all you can do is try
to survive the odds.
Those the planet allowed to live still have to survive the trials of the
virus. If you manage to come out of it alive you are left with some form of
mutation that could give you an ability that could be harmless or lethal.
Bree Taylor is the last survivor of her family. With no other choice she sets off on her own
to escape the clutches of the new government’s army - that does not place
safety and security in their code of behavior only the highest bidder get their
protection and loyalty.
Living in a world of unstable climate changes becomes a journey she won’t
soon forget. She has to be prepared for
anything at all times out in the new country and has to be wary of every person
she meets. All while staying out of the path of the new army.
Excerpt
Four months ago the
entire planet shook with a quake so strong that everyone figured that was the
end. She was ending our torment once and
for all. I will remember that feeling
for the rest of my life. There was
nothing that didn’t move. Every single
object moved, all at once. Hearing so
much motion at the same time was deafening, the loudest I have ever heard, and
something I never want to experience again.
No one knows how long it lasted, but it felt like hours.
I was lucky enough
when it struck that my brother and his two surviving friends were at our house.
I don’t think I would have come through it sane if I’d been alone. The four of us huddled together, the three
males placing me in the center and doing as they had always done, sheltering me
from harm. I remember thinking at the
time when I was desperate and trying not to panic, that if they hadn’t done
that, I may have fled and probably wouldn’t be here now.
When it stopped, the
world had never seemed so silent.
So still.
Praise for the Book
"Can't wait to read the next book. This book is well written,the
author definitely knows how to describe stuff..." ~ Reviewer for Paranormal Romance and Authors that Rock
"I really like the level of description, I LOVE the development and
personality of Tremor and Kizzy, and I really like where this book could
go..." ~ Andretta Schellinger
"This first installment sets the scene and it' s a bit bleak.
Hardships and danger are the order of the day, and for a woman out on her own
it can be especially daunting. I did enjoy Bree's character, her
attitude..." ~ ClueReview
About the Author
Jacqueline Paige lives in Ontario in a small town that’s part of the
popular Georgian Triangle area. No one has ever heard of Stayner, so she
usually tells people she lives "near Collingwood" and no, she doesn’t
ski at Blue Mountain or at all, in fact she’s not even fond of snow.
She began her writing career in 2006 and since her first published works
in 2009 she hasn’t stopped. Jacqueline describes her writing as "all
things paranormal", which she has proven is her niche with stories of
witches, ghosts, physics and shifters now on the shelves.
When Jacqueline isn’t working at her "reality job" or lost in
her writing she spends time with her five children, most of whom are finally
able to look after her instead of the other way around. Together they do random road trips, that usually
end up with them lost, shopping trips
where they push every button in the toy aisle, hiking when there’s enough time
to escape and bizarre things like creating new daring recipes in the kitchen.
She’s a grandmother to four (so far) and looks forward to corrupting many more
in the years to come.
