On her 16th birthday, Kassia is condemned to death. Twice. A doctor gives her three months to live. That night, a strange red mist gives most of humanity a few days to live.
She should be among the first to die. She doesn't.
Instead she survives the apocalypse that kills billions. Only a tiny percentage of people are immune to the mist-but not all of them are human. Alone, Kassia searches for her family in a ruined New York filled with extraordinary dangers.
A meeting with a dynamic stranger fighting for humanity's future gives her a flash of hope. But it's soon crushed. Abandoned, she faces a devastating choice.
She doesn't realize she's being watched.
In the shadows, someone not fully human has taken a special interest in Kassia. This Outrider logs her as Subject 77, then writes down the date she'll die. When she doesn't die, his curiosity stirs, and she becomes his experiment.
He was sent to record the end of humanity. Kassia is the reason he can't finish the job.
The other Outriders have one purpose. Brutal and relentless, they are intent on eradicating the remaining humans ... including Kassia.
Three survivors. One apocalypse. Their lives are already tangled-they just don't know it.
NOTE: Book 1 is told by the three survivors. Each lives the apocalypse from Day Zero until their paths collide. Books 2, 3 and 4 are told entirely by Kassia.
Girl on Fire is the first book in a complete four-book series. Fast, binge-worthy, and threaded with a slow-burn romance. This fallen world has compelling characters, dark choices-and a spark of hope.
