Civilization is a lie. Hidden deep in our genes is the truth. And it is slowly clawing its way to the surface. Olivia Kade knows the truth, and she has become the prophet of the coming collapse. Her book, SATYR, is an international bestseller, and it is being blamed for acts of senseless violence and bloodshed all over the world. Olivia's own life is in danger from those who have read her work. Determined to conduct a book tour, she hires security professional Connor Wilson to act as her bodyguard. She only has one he cannot read her work.

Olivia Kade's cross-country book tour kicks off and is immediately met with resistance. The public lashes out against her treatise on the collapse of society, and it is Connor Wilson's job to keep her safe. As events surrounding the tour grow more violent, more surreal, and more horrific, Connor can't help but wonder—is Olivia's book bringing about strange changes in the world?

The tour for Olivia’s controversial SATYR travels into strange territories, as the highway cuts through a countryside that becomes more primal, more violent, and more dangerous with every turn. There are those who don’t want Olivia’s message to get out, those who are less than human, and some who are willing to murder to ensure silence.

As Connor uncovers more about the strange children of nature who have taken them in, he begins to wonder whether Olivia Kade wrote the book that ended the world, or the book we all need to survive it.

Olivia, Connor, and Willow finally find sanctuary in a small town that’s been given over to the Wilding. Weeds crack the asphalt. Animals roam the street. Humanity is all but forgotten.

With the landscape changing all around them, Olivia and Connor reach the final destination on the SATYR book tour. And it’s not what either of them expected. Olivia, the prophet of the Wilding, must make a fateful decision to either fight against her feral nature… or embrace a new life in this new world.
