In a post-apocalyptic world, young Collin Mann faces the challenge of surviving a deadly illness known as the Sickness, while also defending his city from dangerous, deranged killers. As a 15-year-old who avoids warrior training and struggles with self-doubt, he is called to step up during a critical attack, raising questions about whether he can make a difference. This debut novel by Charles Franklin explores themes of bravery and self-discovery amid a perilous, well-realized world.
