Description
xThe rain never stops. The world is drowning. Survival is everything. This is the first book in a new gripping dystopian adventure series for young adult readers by New York Times bestselling author Matt Eicheldinger. "If we stay here, if we keep wandering without a real plan, we won't last. Maybe The Hill is dangerous. But maybe it's not. Maybe it's the only plan we have."
Seventeen-year-old Aurora knows how to survive. Life in the foster system has taught her how to stay quiet, stay smart, and stay ready. But nothing could prepare her for this: a never-ending storm that swallows cities, drowns forests, and turns the world into a flooded wasteland. Trapped in a collapsing house with her strict prepper foster parents, Aurora is forced to live by their rules just to stay alive. Until the day they disappear without a trace. Alone. Abandoned. And running out of time. All Aurora has is a waterlogged scrap of paper and a name: "The Hill." With looters closing in and the floodwaters rising higher each day, she's left with one impossible choice--stay and wait for the storm to take her, or risk everything on a journey through the drowned remains of the world, to a find a place that may or not exist. It's forward or nothing. With echoes of Life As We Knew It, The Last of Us, and Hatchet, Aurora's story is a gripping, emotionally resonant survival story about resilience, found family, and one girl's fight to reclaim her future in a drowning world.
