After a mysterious explosion turns the earth into a Dead Land, survivors are left scrambling for food, leadership, and the absolute will to live. Those experiencing the dream of a destination promising sanctuary are mystically drawn together in a shared journey. Amidst turbulent skies, cannibals, love and hate, eighteen year-old Sarah Cain emerges as their reluctant and unlikely heroine, forced to acknowledge her prophecy...that she is the one to change everything. Each chapter plunges the reader into a page-turning adventure as the characters from Byrne’s first novel "Dead Land" make their way on a dangerous odyssey through a land hollowed out by the earth’s fall and toward a shared hope of a promised one. Love, marriage, birth and death…experience it all even while trapped inside of a Hollow Land. The Dead Land series is a YA post-apocalyptic trilogy delivering gut-wrenching suspense, unimaginable danger, moving romance, and heart-breaking betrayal.
