Set Apart: The Remnant Chronicles

By Veronica Blis

The city was once a modern utopia. It was designed by the greatest scientific minds of the age and built by titans of industry to withstand any conceivable assault by man or nature. It was designed to be self-sufficient, self-maintaining, and self-operating. Some boasted it would stand for thousands of years, keeping its inhabitants safe, secure, and prosperous. Now the once illustrious acres of city lie in ruin, its technological wonders are reduced to useless garbage, cluttering the streets and buildings. And its dense population seems to have disappeared without a trace. Its only remaining inhabitants are the gangs (disjointed groups of hostile peoples, constantly warring with each other) and the loners (individuals and small cells of people rejected even by the gangs). Both are equally terrifying to Roe, the lone survivor of a small missionary team sent from a rural settlement far beyond the city's borders. Two of Roe's companions were lost on the perilous journey into the city and the dangers within claimed the last. Now alone, Roe escapes a gang encounter with her life and an unexpected friend. Caleb belongs to one of the city's more prominent gangs and tries to convince Roe to join, while she tries to persuade him to leave the city with her. Just when Roe thinks she's overcome Caleb's doubts about a life outside the gangs, a new obstacle arises. Roe discovers she's drawn the notice of the most feared gang in the city. Will her quick wit, courage, and the added support of her friend be enough to evade the savages hunting them and the other dangers of the city?
