“It’s beautiful, yes, but despite the night’s breathtaking aura of red, something inside me says this isn’t good. That I should be afraid. That I should…run.”

From that horrifying first night, now seven years later, Ruko Verde survives best he can in the ruins of a dying nation. The United States has become a giant prison–no one’s allowed to leave–quarantined after the sudden invasion of terrifying creatures (LASHERS) that kill everything in their path. They come out when the night sky mysteriously turns red, every nine days…nothing can stop them. Hide and wait is the only survival plan against the threat that’s unlike anything the world has ever known.

Along with society, Ruko is losing hope. But after meeting Hayvin, a powerfully-driven, kind-hearted woman, he begins to find strength to fight back, and re-discovers happiness he thought was forever lost. Together, Ruko and Hayvin bravely follow a clue that delves them deeper into the details of the Lasher nightmare than they ever could’ve imagined. 

Will Ruko and Hayvin uncover the mystery and save a dying nation–with their own lives and love hanging in the balance–in this heart-pumping, inspiring, post-apocalyptic original? Ruko must first defeat his own skeletons of the past before he can face his fears of the present.
