The Harvest

Daylight is death.

Humanity teeters on the verge of extinction. Only the hours of darkness offer the survivors respite from the Sun’s deadly radiation. But despite the hardships, seventeen year old Lyra Ellsworth and her mother have carved a little life for themselves in a quiet camp hidden in the woods.

So when raiders slaughter her friends and raze their home to the ground one terrible night, Lyra has no choice but to risk everything in search of sanctuary.

Hunters stalk the forests. Ex-soldiers patrol the streets. Even nature itself has evolved to kill her.

Yet still Lyra presses on toward Dawnhaven—a rumoured settlement to the south promising hope for humanity’s future.

Because like everyone in the wilderness, Lyra has only a single objective.

Survive, whatever the cost.

The Harvest is a heart-pounding dystopian/post-apocalyptic young adult novel from the author of the best-selling Final Dawn series, combining the thrilling survivalism of the Hunger Games with the desperation of The Road.
