His only hope is to endure a fifty-mile trek on foot through a broken wilderness where the rules of the Old World no longer matter. Ahead lies a landscape of abandoned towns, fractured alliances, and ruthless factions fighting for control. Food is scarce, trust is dangerous, and enemies lurk in every shadow. To survive, Nate must draw on his father's training, the memory of what he has already lost, and the hope of what he might still save.The countdown has started, are you ready to escape?
