About this audiobook

Finn’s a survivor. Rabbit traps. Abalone. A hidden stash of canned food and fuel. He’s kept himself alive, and clear of the violent gang controlling the north, for two winters –ever since the virus wiped out the town. But now it’s complicated. There’s a girl. She’s on the run, injured, and she needs Finn’s help. But the secret she carries will change everything.
