Fenn volunteers to search for a source of water rumored to be free of the flesh-eaters, and Peree secretly joins her on the treacherous journey.
When the Scourge lingers, violence erupts between the Groundlings and Lofties. The arrogant, tree-dwelling Lofties put arrows in the backs of unsuspecting Groundlings. Peree is surprisingly thoughtful, and he tells distracting stories from before the Fall of Civilization, but he can’t be trusted. Until now.įenn is less-than-thrilled to rely on a Lofty to help her deliver the water. Fenn is Sightless, which means she should be one of the few who are inexplicably protected from the creatures, but she hasn’t been tested.
She’s just inherited the duty of collecting fresh water for her people, the Groundlings, who hide in nearby caves when the flesh-eaters swarm through the forest. Death is better.įennel has known all her life that this day would come-the day she would face the Scourge alone. People who survive the attacks become flesh-eaters themselves. They roam the forest, reeking of festering flesh, consuming anything living. Their deformed faces are masks of horror. The sighted say the creatures’ bodies are open in patches, weeping pus and thick, dark blood. Where to buy: Amazon | Smashwords DESCRIPTION:
