Life sucks, and then you rot. No one knows how Dermadecatis is contracted, but its existence has changed everything for 18-year-old Lena, in this riveting debut from Taylor Hondos. No contact with other people. Masks must be worn in public at all times. Four months ago men, women and children alike began to rot from the inside out, and the world as we know it changed forever. Life goes on, but now everything revolves around the need to survive and find a cure for Dermadecatis, the disease that Lena Alona's father discovered. Unfortunately for Lena and everyone else who is desperate to survive, her father's secrets died when he did.

She’s back, and stronger than ever before. Lena lives on and although she can’t remember a thing, she has woken up with powers she could only dream of. Lena has been taken over by Dr. Ravana and received the number one target on her first night in the compound. And then she saw him and everything changes. Lena can’t help but fight the connection she feels for Jared. Jared attempts to unlock the truth of the cure while attempting to help Lena remember the past. If only Lena doesn’t have to kill him first.

A last hope; lost. A girl with all the answers; destroyed. An antidote hidden from the world. An army of robots. The epic showdown is finally here. Dr. Ravana and his army of robots are planning to wipe out the entire world for their own gain; Lena included. No one appears to be who they seem to be, and lines are blurring between good and evil. Holland and Jared stand alone in attempting to save the world, but Jared can’t let go of Lena, the love of his life. The only thing they know for sure is that they will take back their world, once and for all.
