What is Arcadium? Florence knows but she’s not telling anyone, and it could just be the key to the survival of the human race. Sixteen-year-old Florence West must journey across a disease ravaged Melbourne with her nine-year-old sister Liss, and she’ll do anything to survive. Mostly that means staying clear of all people, the healthy ones on the run and the infected ones hungry for human flesh. But when she meets a man that speaks no English and a defiant set of brothers, Florence will be forced to question her ways. Because there’s only so far you can go alone, right? Arcadium is a heart-stopping journey of hope across a ravaged urban land where survival always comes at a heavy price.

Thought Florence and the gang got their happily ever after? Think again. Florence West and her new family have found safety in the hills, but the infection rages on around them. And when the virus takes one of her group, Florence will find out just how far she'll go to survive. Can they hold on to their sanctuary or will they have to let it go?
