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 fierce 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.
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.

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.

People think I survived. But that’s an illusion.
After two years of hell in prison camp, Micka wants only one thing: To end the Brothers and Sisters of the Apocalypse. She embarks on a race across five thousand kilometres of ice and snow, knowing it’s a suicide mission.
But she has nothing left to lose.

I'm the incendiary of savages. I burn down thrones.
The Brothers and Sisters of the Apocalypse aren't happy with Micka. She's blown up their satellite network and now passes valuable intel to their fiercest enemy — the Sequencer Council. But nothing goes as Micka plans, and soon the two most powerful global organisations want her dead.
Lines blur between friend and foe.
And Micka is out of options.
