Bett wants more than anything to survive.
But how do you survive the end of the world?
A plague called Blight.
Violence, fire, and zealotry.
Fear, floods, famine, and war.
Bett must overcome these, and she must keep moving. If she reaches the coast, crossing half of Canada, then she must decide-
To the north, survivors of Blight will hole up as long as possible. A generation or two is all the Earth's got left, but maybe they can make the best of it?
To the south, a King is offering everyday people a one-way ticket off Earth-he's the only trillionaire who doesn't seem anxious to leave the poor behind.
North?
Or south?
In the crux of her decision, Bettina encounters a bewildering, witchy woman who speaks with animals and who listens to whispers on the wind. Mystifying things walk the enduring forests, and rumours of Old Gods spread terror.
Old Gods who want Bett on their side.
Join Bett on her journey. Read When the World Ends today.
