Tainted crops killed millions. The Skinnies ate the rest. Sixteen year old Wendy never knew the world before the Starvation. She’s learned to put her trust in her knives, and her confidence in her fighting ability. When Skinnies destroy her compound, she is the lone survivor. With a broken body and a shattered mind, Wendy is rescued and nursed back to health by mysterious strangers. But trust has never been one of Wendy’s strengths, and suspicion soon leads to evidence that these people want something that only Wendy can find. Something they killed her entire family for. Taking the settlement down from the inside in order to get her revenge requires Wendy to do something she really isn’t good at. Fight her way through five men twice her size? Easy. Make small talk, listen to other teenagers prattle on about their problems and pretend to care all while battling her own internal demons? Wendy would rather face a hoard of Skinnies.

What Readers are Saying: “This is a story about trust, betrayal, survival, relationships, and finding laughs when you are literally living in hell on earth.” “I ended up falling in love with not only the main character but also her friends because of how well the author developed the characters.” “Schneider does a fabulous job not only world building the apocalypse, but showing Wendy’s growth as she learns to cope with losing everyone she knows (and suffers from PTSD) and after being thrust with strangers she cannot trust.”
