When Riley Jameson walked across the graduation stage in sunny San Diego, she expected the world to open up for her-just not like this.
Within hours, an unthinkable reality crashes down: every man on Earth is gone. No explanation. No warning. Fathers, brothers, lovers, sons-vanished. Power grids fail. Governments collapse. And humanity's future becomes uncertain in more ways than one.
As chaos consumes the city, Riley fights to survive alongside her best friend Tasha and a handful of strangers-a battle-hardened Navy medic, a brilliant reproductive scientist, and anyone else who hasn't turned violent in the struggle for dwindling resources. Then comes the rumor: whispers of surviving men held somewhere in Kansas.
With reproduction impossible and civilization crumbling, finding them may be the last hope for humanity. But the road there is lined with ruthless scavenger gangs, fractured militias, and those who would rather see the old world burn than return.
Every mile brings Riley closer to the truth-about the disappearance, about the people she travels with, and about herself. And in a world without men, she'll learn just how far she's willing to go to save what's left.
