After the worldquake, nothing will ever be the same.
A predicted worldquake has shaken up everything, including the lives of three teenagers. MaeAri, Lark, and Malcom, only want life as they knew it, back. But more than just the earth's surface has fissured and come apart... Nothing will be the same.
Pre-Quake, MaeAri was part of an assassin network and had thwarted several attempts on her life. But now, even though she survived the worldquake, she's haunted by her past, making her doubt her own abilities. After picking up the pieces of her life and trying to become a better person, will she have the strength to survive the unknown sickness sweeping the world?
Living in the underbelly of society—in a commune with other law breakers—is the only life Lark and her sister Willow know. Neither want to live there, but because their parents broke the rules, they are all punished. After the worldquake, rumors of a life-threatening airborne disease threaten their underground world and her sister. How far will Lark go to keep her sister alive?
Malcolm's educational future is all planned, and in a few years, he'll be able to take care of his mom the way she deserves. All set to attend a gifted academic program, everything changes for him when someone calls and cautions him not to go. He's torn on what to do, but when the worldquake destroys his neighborhood, his sole focus is on saving his mother. To save her, he must become stronger and more independent, and make decisions that mean life or death.
