Publisher's Synopsis
A decade after the Cynosure, Zoe Sinclair is still trying to ignore the end of the world. For ten years, everything has been slowly falling apart; people continue to disappear, and no one seems to know where, until they begin to reappear as the terrifying Baptised.
Zoe needs to get away - it's something she is good at - but to outrun the tide of impending catastrophe will take every bit of her creativity, imagination, and callous disregard for those she cares about.
From Milton Keynes to the devastated city of London, Zoe runs while the creatures of the plague relentlessly pursue her. Can she uncover the secret of the Newly Born? And what will she do when she finally has nowhere left to go?
It looks like her future may no longer be in her hands, but can the ragtag group of acquaintances she has loved and lost save her from death or a hideous transformation?
