Synopsis:
I’d never known true
darkness until the lights went out.I had never known what it was to be hungry.
Everyone I ever knew was dead. If they weren’t, then they wished they were.
I know I did.
Prue Ashford has been
surviving alone in the Australian bush for the last three years. After an
unknown virus wiped out most of the human population, she escaped the chaos and
hid. Every town and city was locked down into quarantine, but that only led to
the inevitable. Death.
Living off the land,
avoiding other survivors turned bad, she’s led a lonely life, surviving on the
edge of a very narrow cliff. The moment she begins to lose hope is when she
meets the handsome and enigmatic, Shaw.
He’s the first human being
she’s seen in three years that hasn’t tried to kill her and she doesn’t dare to
hope. She’d given up finding anyone alive that still had goodness inside of
them.
Her only option if she
wants to live is to trust Shaw and he takes her to the isolated community he
calls home. Being among people again is it’s own challenge and Prue finds
herself tested on every front. Making friends was never easy for her and making
them after an apocalypse is even harder.
Hannah, the town’s
apprentice doctor, becomes the closest thing Prue has to a best friend and Nan
fast becomes her surrogate mother. Shaw brings feelings to the surface that she
would rather forget and Eva, the mayor’s daughter, seems hell bent on making
her life a living hell.
In the end, Prue must make
a decision. Stay in the town at the end of the world and learn how to love
again, or go back into the wasteland of human civilisation and go it alone.
What Remains is a gritty
story of human survival. When society crumbles and chaos reigns, people become
desperate. They turn to violence and resort to extreme measures to go on
living. Parts of this story may be confronting for some people. It contains
violent situations staged by desperate people, the extremes that people go to
to show their love and a dose of bad language. It’s recommended for readers 18
and up.
