Millions have already died, and thousands more are perishing daily. As a last ditch effort to preserve the human race, the government implements Project ELE. With the earth heating at rapid speeds, all remaining survivors are forced to turn to F.E.M.A. shelters to wait out ELE's wrath.
Fifteen-year-old Willow Mosby's life, as she knows it, ends the moment she walks through the shelter's door. Willow has to quickly adapt to the new challenges that shelter life demands, which includes making new friends and working a full time job.
Soon after making an interesting discovery, Willow and her friends start exhibiting strange abilities. Seeking answers, they embark on a mission to find out what these new abilities mean and whether they are a gift or a curse.
This new adventure can send her world crashing down around her. The question is: Can Willow survive the fall?
From the best selling authors of Night Marchers comes a new apocalyptic series with a paranormal twist.
Excerpt:
When five o'clock rolls around I
gladly hand my tablet over to Alec to download my delivery signatures. We are
the last two in the office so I sit on top of his desk next to him as he
finishes the last of his work. I watch him typing furiously on the keyboard. I
don't pay attention to the words being entered on the screen, instead I take
the time to study him in a way that you can't do when someone's looking at you.
Well, at least not without totally creeping him out.
His hair is so dark that it nearly
looks black on most days. Today, when I look at it just the right way I can see
the deep brown and chestnut colors that stand out underneath the light. I also
notice that his eyebrows furrow in and his eyes squint ever so slightly when
he's concentrating. It's endearing.
I inch myself closer so I can see
more of his eyes. The deep emerald green that he once had is now completely
replaced with the most unique shade of navy blue that I've ever seen. It starts
out dark, almost black around the outer part of his eye and then fades into a
lighter, yet still navy shade of blue as it leads into his pupils. Both of his
eyes are completely changed and I wonder why only one of mine has changed.
Alec turns and catches me staring.
He doesn't say anything though. He shuts the computer off and stands up from
his chair. He leans in to where I'm sitting on his desk and studies me.
"What are you doing?" I
know I'm blushing and it's possible that I should feel self-conscious, but
nothing about Alec's stare makes me feel unsure of myself. If anything the look
that he's giving me makes me feel beautiful and more confident.
"I figured if you got to study
me for an uninterrupted five minutes then I should get to do the same to
you." He smiles.
"Oh, you saw that?" I
push some of my hair behind my ear.
He nods his head but continues to
appraise me.
My body feels warm and flush and
the butterflies are dancing around again in my stomach. The silence is killing
me so I decide to break it. "So, what exactly are you studying?"
"Hmm, an exquisite specimen
really." He says in his best official scientific voice.
I crack a smile at his corniness.
"Yes, her teeth are perfectly
white. Her unruly waves have a color that is quite unique, it reminds me of a
mix between caramel and toasted coconut."
I giggle. "I'm sure it doesn't
taste as good as either of those."
He pushes his hand through my hair
and continues. "Her eyes are almond shaped and one is the most beautiful
brown I've ever seen."
I put my hand up to my left eye
knowing that it must look horrible and freakish.
He pulls my hand away and sets it
gently on my lap. He pushes my bangs aside and says, "And the other one is
the most amazing mixture of colors that she seems to think is odd but I think
it's stunning." He kisses me on my cheek then finishes. "I will
conclude my findings with one final appraising statement. Willow Mosby, you are
the most breathtakingly beautiful creature that I've ever set eyes on."
