Into the Mist

From #1 New York Times bestselling author P. C. Cast comes “Into the Mist”, the first book in a pulse-pounding dystopian duology for our times. “Practical Magic” meets “Station Eleven” in this gripping take on female power and the inevitable, destructive path of violent patriarchies. As men fall to the mist, the age of womankind begins to rise. The world as we know it ends when an attack on the U.S. unleashes bombs that deliver fire and biological destruction. Along with sonic detonations and devastating earthquakes, the bombs have also brought the green mist. If breathed in, it is deadly to all men, but alters the body chemistry of many women, imbuing them with superhuman abilities. A group of high school teachers heading home from a conference experiences firsthand the strength of these new powers. Mercury Rhodes is the Warrior, possessing heightened physical powers. Stella Carver is the Seer, with a sixth sense about the future. Imani Andrews is the Watcher, with a rare connection to the earth. Karen Gay is the Priestess, demonstrating a special connection with Spirits. And Gemma Jenkins is the Healer, a sixteen-year-old student who joins the group after losing her parents. As they cross the Pacific Northwest, trying to find a safe place to ride out the apocalypse, the women soon learn they can't trust anyone, and with fresh danger around every corner, it will take all their powers to save themselves, and possibly the world. With timely commentary on power and community, “Into the Mist” delivers a thrilling and fantastical future that is equal parts a feminist commentary and an amazing, witty adventure filled with wine and women—as only P.C. Cast's brilliant storytelling can bring to life.

In the thrilling sequel to #1 New York Times bestselling author P. C. Cast's Into the Mist, a group of women fight for a just future in the wake of global destruction. Practical Magic meets Station Eleven in this pulse-pounding postapocalyptic thriller about the power of women. Mercury Rhodes and her world were utterly changed when the bombs fell, releasing the green mist. While it proved deadly to all the men who breathed it in, it gave new life to women who did the same. The green mist provided each member of her newfound family an ability: Stella's heightened intuition, Imani's earthly connection, Karen's bond with Spirit, and Gemma's healing ability. Although Mercury now has incredible physical strength, she doesn't know if she will be strong enough for what comes next. Especially after the death of Ford, their companion through the aftermath of the mist. The group finds respite in creating a small community in the John Day Fossil Preserve, near the Painted Hills in Oregon. Together, they hope to find a place where they can start over and rebuild a better world. But Mercury knows it won't be that simple, not when she knows someone, or something, is hunting them. Something that wants to rule the ruins of the world and something who sees Mercury as a threat that must be eliminated. Mercury will have to muster all her strength if she is to fight for a new dawn. The fate of her friends, and the world, depend on it.
