Publisher's Synopsis
Leaving the compound was supposed to give me and my friends a sense of safety and security, and it did...for them, at least. I know Lucinda won't stop hunting me, no matter how long it takes her or what tactics she has to use. The island can only protect me for so long before she forces me off it, only she won't have to force me. I know now that I have no choice but to kill her, even if I have to die with her. Everest will fight with his life to protect me, but I'll fight harder to keep his heart beating. I'll sacrifice myself to save him, to save my family, and all I can hope for in the end is a world without Lucinda.
