description: In a brutal and wasted world there was only one law – survive at any cost.War, disease and pollution have made the earth almost unfit for human habitation. Food is scarce and what food remains is quickly confiscated by the Pirates – a murderous band of raiders determined to save themselves and to destroy the last stronghold of civilized human being – the mutant population.One mutant, a woman named Thea, has eluded the Pirates for years. Armed only with a crossbow, her pride and her common sense, she has been slowly making her way eastward to Gold Lake – a legendary place of safety and enlightenment. Then one day she meets Evan Montague, a man who needs her help, a man who is also on the run from the Pirates, but for a different reason – he once led them himself and has now become their most bitter and most hunted enemy.Together Thea and Evan flee radiation and enemies. Each peril met and surmounted drains them, until at the end they are left with no hopes or expectations, only their ultimate commitment to each other.
