Savage North Chronicles

Survival of the fittest. Those four words accompanied me into the inferno. Followed by four others. I am the weak. And knowing I deserved far worse than death, I let the fire inside me burn. Before the fever, a deadly plan was set in motion from which a single text altered the world beyond remedy--three words that changed humanity forever. It is time. After the Great Transformation, life in the North was miserable and bleak for those who remained. Loved ones were mourned. Survivors heard voices and could do impossibly unnatural things. Yet, amidst the fear and uncertainty, the grief and despair, Bert, Ross, Kat, and Cal found a semblance of hope. These are the stories of those who survived the beginning.

Alaska can be a bleak and dangerous place, especially in the dead of winter. But when hair-raising whispers about an outbreak reach the small harbor town of Whitely, the townspeople face a new, unfathomable fear - the virus is coming for them. Life seemed complicated for Sophie Collins. She had teen pregnancy and her squeaky-clean reputation as the mayor's daughter to worry about. But strict schedules and perfectly groomed hair become yesterday's concerns, as bloodcurdling screams pierce the night air and lurid memories haunt feverish dreams. Weak and alone, Sophie must survive the longest, most terrifying night of her life, and pray she won't be the only one left when she wakes. Alex Ortiz is the new kid from the wrong side of the tracks, and trouble seems to follow him wherever he goes. It's all he can do to keep his head down until his 18th birthday, when he can leave his life in foster care behind him. But Alex doesn't realize he and the quiet girl from class with lonely blue eyes are fated in the most impossible way imaginable. Death is everywhere, and even in the gray dawn of morning, after the fever subsides and the world echoes in silence, Alex will have to face his darkest demons yet.
