What Once Was - From the Ashes, #1

Three years after mutually assured destruction, the survivors have been getting by in whatever ways they can. Kylie Winters is part of a group that has survived by never staying in one place too long. They've made it through raiders and militarized organizations claiming to be rebuilding. But what happens when a new entity comes into play, large and established enough to make a difference one way or another?When the birds fly south for the winter, they don't realize that they're flying straight into a trap, where they have to make a distinction as to whether they're trapped for saving or something else entirely.
On a journey of pain and with a need for revenge, it can be difficult to take a look around to notice that the world is still spinning. Sometimes, you'll find something so beautiful, you just can't help it. A story of family, friendship, and survival that explores what it means to be alive when the world has fallen to pieces.
