In a world ravaged by the devastating arrival of the squid, status and age no longer mattered. Everyone fought, and the war was still lost.

All he wants to do is get through the remainder of his days without any trouble, but the world is unforgiving and peace is a distant memory.
Arvin, Burke's neighbor and friend, is losing time. The present, slipping away like water through cupped fingers. Arvin's fragmented memory could lead to deadly consequences as the power within threatens to consume him and everyone he cares about.
Charlie, a young girl born into this world, has known nothing but loss. Despite Burke's efforts to shield her from a harsh reality, she embraces her thirst for vengeance.
In the shadows, poised to shatter their fragile existence, lurks a new threat. As darkness falls, they must confront an adversary that surpasses any challenge they've faced before.

""I wasn't sure what to expect going into the book. And I was not ready for the creative brilliance of it. It's not the standard fare for any of the genres, and it shines all the brighter for it. It doesn't ""Do the genre credit"" it stands above and apart from the genre.
I read a lot, I love books, and it has been a long time since one gripped me so fully in the feels as this book.
I'm not a paid reviewer, I didn't get the book for free, I am a heart and soul fan of this book, because it more than deserves it, it demands it.

""Excellent from start to explosive finish!
If you don't have time to read this adventure, make time to listen. Vocals are as captivating as the storyline. From rugged humour with laughs to actual tears off loss, you will feel apart of this world every step of the way.

Absolute must have."" - Allison Clarke, Audible"
