Sarah is a woman struggling to find peace in a world trapped in the shadows of the past. But when Alan Harding and Moll enter into her life, the chance to take a different path is just too tempting to resist. This rocky, emotional journey into a bleak future is made all the more difficult by the strange reverence the people around her have for the Old-World, one which Alan knows only too well. As the threats of attack from a powerful gang of slave traders increases, it isn't long before Sarah realizes that just surviving the end of the world isn't going to be enough.
