Publisher's Synopsis
Bell and Roe live isolated lives in a postapocalyptic wasteland, Bell with her books and Roe with her guns. When they happen to meet, Bell shows Roe a
game: take o your gas mask and see if you can breathe. Taste this plant and
see if you survive. Do more than just not-die. When Bell brings vegetables
from her garden to trade, she is trapped in Roe's shelter by a sudden acid
rainstorm. A tenuous friendship develops, nurtured by Bell's endless stash of
fairy tales. Then Bell steals one of Roe's guns. She says she needs it to hunt, but
what else might she have planned? Roe's shelter is stocked with canned goods
and other priceless resources. Is their friendship true, or just another game?
