As the weather continues to rage out of control, and Sweepers clean the streets of plague victims, Lucy survives alone in the wilds of Central Park. But when she’s rescued from a pack of hunting dogs by a mysterious boy named Aidan, she reluctantly accepts that she can’t continue on her own. So she joins his band of survivors, but now a new danger awaits her. The Sweepers are looking for her. There’s something special about Lucy, and they will stop at nothing to have her….
