Book overview
In the remains of post-World War III Portland, hope is a memory-and survival is a wish.Skylar Samuels, known as 'Angel' to the children she protects, has one rule: no adults. After all, adults brought the world to its knees. At nineteen, Skylar cares for a ragtag family of orphans, along with her little sister, in the crumbling halls of a once-grand hotel, wielding her bow with deadly accuracy and earning a heroic title she never asked for.
But heroes can't always afford to trust. When Skylar crosses paths with Noah, a wounded army boy with secrets of his own, her strict rules begin to falter. As zombies close in and rival survivors grow more ruthless, Skylar must decide if letting someone see the real her is worth the risk-or if it will destroy everything she's fought for.
In this new world where innocence is a liability and kindness can get you killed, Skylar is forced to choose: surrender to the impending darkness or become the angel the city needs most-no matter the cost.
A haunting, action-packed tale of found family, sacrifice, and the resilient human spirit-perfect for fans of fierce heroines and heart-pounding twists.
