Jacqui still remembers what it was like before the honeybee virus destroyed her world. Before children converted into beasts and guys desperate for power became raiders. Before she needed to disguise herself as a young man. And before her sibling Dean left rather than came back.

‘Jack port’ asks Fiona and Jonah Tarsis to help find Dean, and they quickly place out-along with Fiona’s boyfriend, Bowen-in search of themselves. But Jacqui quickly discovers that they’ve kept a dangerous key from her: they possess the cure. With their success hanging in the total amount, Jacqui and her friends must restore their own families, preserve the cure, and fight for the chance to rebuild their shattered world.
