After Camden’s order to leave Plymouth in the midst of catastrophe,
Pen, Cora, and Matt find themselves thrown together in a whirlwind of
confusion and dread. Hoping to reunite with their friends at the first
rendezvous point, they move on as planned. However, they will discover that
it isn’t easy to follow Camden’s orders when so many questions go
unanswered. They will learn that finding their friends will be more difficult
than ever expected as they endure setback after setback and difficulty after
difficulty.
Separated from their friends, hunted by the Pacers, and plagued with fear,
Pen and Cora must learn to survive in situations they never
imagined…with socially inept Matt as their guide. Pen will find that
Matt, the man she despised for so long, demonstrates who he really is. Matt
soon dissolves into who he was meant to be: a soldier. And Cora endures the
constant thought which she prays be proven wrong: Tim is dead, Tim is
dead, Tim is dead…
