We follow Eve’s journey as she travels in search of a sanctuary known as Califia, through land she’s never seen and with absolutely no survival skills.Īs I read this book I found myself being pulled in by the panic of every passing flashlight and the dreaded rumble of search trucks, because Eve’s emotions are written in a way that you get just enough information to keep you interested, without dulling the story with too much description. A shock discovery leads Eve to run away the night before graduation, with the aid of a sympathetic teacher, towards the harrowing sounds of hungry wild dogs and distant gunshots, the same sounds she has always been most terrified of, until she learned the horrific truth of her future if she were to graduate.

Raised in a strict and sheltered girls’ school, Eve has loyal friends, has finished top in her class, has supportive teachers, the best medical care, and is completely safe, or so she has been brainwashed into believing. What if you discovered everything you thought you knew about the world and about yourself, everything you hoped for and believed in, everything you looked forward to and longed for, was a lie to keep you trapped?Įve is in the 2% of the world’s population who survived the plague.
