In an America devastated by war and plague, the only way to survive is to keep moving.

In the aftermath of a war, America€s landscape has been ravaged and two-thirds of the population left dead from a vicious strain of influenza. Fifteen-year-old Stephen Quinn and his family were among the few that survived and became salvagers, roaming the country in search of material to trade. But when Stephen€s grandfather dies and his father falls into a coma after an accident, Stephen finds his way to Settler€s Landing, a community that seems too good to be true. Then Stephen meets strong, defiant, mischievous Jenny, who refuses to accept things as they are. And when they play a prank that goes horribly wrong, chaos erupts, and they find themselves in the midst of a battle that will change Settler€s Landing--and their lives--forever.
