And it’s hell-bent on destroying the last hope of goodness and purity in the world. It’s a shape-shifting embodiment of the apocalypse, and of all that is evil and despairing.
Swan’s visions tell of a coming malevolent force. But only Swan knows that they must endure more than just a trek across an irradiated country of mutated animals, starvation, madmen, and wasteland warriors. In Manhattan, a homeless woman stumbles from the sewers, guided by the prophecies of a mysterious amulet, and pursued by something wicked on Idaho’s Blue Dome Mountain, an orphaned boy falls under the influence of depraved survivalists and discovers the value of a killer instinct and amid the devastating dust storms on the Great Plains of Nebraska, Swan forms a heart-and-soul bond with an unlikely new companion. In a blinding flash, nuclear bombs annihilate civilization, leaving only a few buried survivors to crawl onto a scorched landscape that was once America.
Swan is a nine-year-old Idaho girl following her struggling mother from one trailer park to the next when she receives visions of doom-something far wider than the narrow scope of her own beleaguered life. New York Times Bestseller: A young girl’s visions offer the last hope in a postapocalyptic wasteland in this “grand and disturbing adventure” (Dean Koontz).
