Prologue

The world might have ended for everyone else in 2003, but Lina's world ends when her goddaughter is kidnapped and taken out west. Now she must agree to help the Fireflies as one of the most likely to be able to help create a cure and travel across no man's land with Joel, a man who's equally irritating as he is enticing, and Ellie, who's actually a really good kid.

Or, where no matter as hard as two stubborn idiots try to not like each other or adopt a child together, it happens anyway.
