While the natural planet has flourished, crops are suddenly dying and the sickness-a zombie-like plague-is ravishing the human population.I live on the fringe of what's left of civilization, helping where I can-from a distance. This is the only world I've ever known and I plan to save it.I've been entrusted by the clans to remedy the food shortage. Breaking rules is nothing new, but there's a catch. I need a villager to carry out my plan.Ren is not the captive I had hoped for. He's shockingly candid. A wildcard with a fatal flaw. And he remembers the world before it stopped. The longer we spend together, the more I'm drawn into his entitled way of life. To him. But he may harbor more secrets than I do.Ren is not who he seems.Then again, neither am I.During a time of deception and conspiracies, love thrives where a world chose to die.Two worlds collide to save hope for the future.
