Cut I've reached my expiration date. Not that it matters. We're all going to die. To Mickaela Capra, all words have flavours. Each emotion burns so fiercely that she carves them into her skin. The night she decides to press the blade deep enough, a stranger offers her a different kind of ending. One that makes her question everything she's learned about the apocalypse. But truth comes with a price. Two rules carved in bone: Kill. Survive. Because the final wars were never meant to end. Fog You don't hear death leaping at you. But I can hear you die. And I can see your body grow as grey and black as the soil that drinks your blood. Micka never signed up to be a hero. Yet, here she is—at the front lines of humanity's desperate struggle for survival. Alone with Runner, she's about to march into battle against a terrorist organisation that vowed to wipe humanity off the planet. Or what's left of it. Micka mastered the grim art of killing. Now, she must learn the true cost of survival in a world gone mad. A haunting exploration of trauma and survival, for readers of Emily St. John Mandel's Station Eleven, Cormac McCarthy's The Road, and Margaret Atwood's MaddAddam. Contains mature content.
