A saber is a girl's best friend. When everyone Eve cares about is killed in an alien invasion, she uses her skills with a blade to battle her way through the changing landscape. But with humanity on the brink of extinction, the aliens aren't the only monsters the college color guard faces. After fleeing the war zone that was once Atlanta, Eve heads north to her family's cabin in the woods. In the desolate mountain town, she encounters a group of survivors on the way to the fabled Safe Zone. Impressed with her fighting skills, the group's leader invites her to join their ranks. But trust is a rare commodity in Eve's new reality, and she must decide whether an alliance with the dangerously sexy Archer is worth the risk. His offer of protection is tempting, but if she agrees to join him, she'll be putting more than her life on the line. She can either save what's left of humanity or lose her heart-and the whole damn world along with it.
