Brody Gibbs and his family have tried to rescue the people exiled from the bubble city. For three hundred years, the people left outside when the virus struck have managed to survive and rebuild a rugged, frontier society.
The city dwellers believe the outside is instant death from the deadly virus that nearly wiped out mankind centuries ago. When their resources start to run out, they begin sending any troublemakers to the outside to die.
Except Arissa doesn't die. She's resuced by Brody Gibbs. Somehow he saves her and her comrades from the deadly virus with a serum created by his aunt. The outside is lovely, the food bountiful, but the wilderness is also dangerous. Weather, terrian, human predators challenge their survival at every turn.
Brody can't believe he's falling so hard for the fragile, stubborn city woman. But with every mile they journey from the city, he sees her courage. Her gentleness only adds to her attractiveness. By the time they reach his homestead, he knows the city girl holds his heart.
But Arissa hides a secret that may destroy their fledging relationship. Before she can explain herself to Brody and regain his trust, their lives are threatened by a great evil.
The fate of mankind depends not only on Brody's and Arissa's survival, but also the survival of their love.
