Now the only place they have left to go is on the run in the unforgiving Wastelands, a place where sand spiders & the Infected become the least of their problems when Cady's ex-lover escapes her darkened past & deepens their plight with an agenda of his own. Dodging Wastelanders out for blood & Kitty's father determined for revenge, can Cadence avoid a bite from the Infected long enough to save her two wards & escape or will her ex-lover's plans destroy them all?
