This is not the story of how the world ended. No one really knows how it ended. All that is certain is somehow, somewhere, someone screwed up. Big time. For generations, Jess and her tribe have guarded the entrance to the caves, protecting the human world from the demons within. The bloodthirsty creatures, once the cause of humanity's downfall, seek nothing more than to finish the task. Caught in a web of grief, Jess flees the tribe for the outside world, becoming an 'outcast'. She crosses the desert, seeking out a new home away from the fight, but her warrior's scars make it a difficult life, the center of a propaganda-fueled hatred unparalleled in her old world. But when Jess finds a home, she finds that her old life will not be forgotten so easily. The demons have found a new exit to the cave. They're ready.
