The human brain tends to fear the unknown and some cults prey on these thoughts. In this book cults, a threatening disease, and the grave possibility of an apocalypse propel this book into being a thrilling thriller.

“In that instant I knew that as bad as it was, it was going to get much worse.”

For Wynter Roth, a former resident of a doomsday cult New Earth, life seems to be a shaky ground. Brought to the cult by her now dead mother, joined by her older sister, the ladies tried to escape an abusive husband and father. Little did they realize that what they thought would be salvation turned out to be quite the opposite.

New Earth is led by the charismatic Magnus. Wynter and her family learn about faith, a faith that was created by Magnus, formed to his will and ideals, and allowing for no deviations to his rules. Outside the cult, in the world, recently melted ice in the Permafrost carries a disease which is reasserting itself upon the planet. It has no cure and leaves its victims experiencing madness, a descent into dementia. Into this world, Wynter is thrust, totally unprepared, scared, and alone. It seems that all the warnings about the world’s end taught by Magnus are coming to fruition.

Before her departure from New Earth, thrown out by Magnus when she refuses his advances to her, Wynter is given medical samples by her sister, who is married to Magnus. She must find a way to get these samples to where they can be used to possibly engineer a vaccine to ward off the ravages of the disease. In route, with the world falling apart around her, she meets and teams up with Chase Miller, a former military man. Together they must battle the forces that are so intent on stopping them from delivering the samples that might save the planet

It’s a time of madness and through an innovative story line with characters that are compelling, brave, and forcible, we experience the tension, the fear, and the scare factor of knowing that our world is once again in the throes of extinction.
