It’s black as obsidian.
It’s shaped like an egg.
it’s the size of a bus.
It’s also destroying the world.
A cloud of spores creeps outward across the US, reducing even the strongest people to whimpering puddles of fear.
Within days, the country is decimated. Except for a few survivors, everyone is dead. The streets echo with silence, while the beaches fester with the bodies of those so desperate to escape that they tried to swim across the oceans.
The only ones left untouched are those whose demons live inside their own heads.
Deidre is one of those people.
With her supplies dwindling and no hope of rescue, a mysterious broadcast leaves Deidre with the most difficult decision of her life: whether to stay and await certain death, or to set out across the US in a desperate bid for survival.
There’s just one question: will it be the wilderness, or the other survivors, that get her first?
Welcome to the quiet apocalypse.
