About the book: 2017 / Her world has long crumbled to dust. The Sacred Fire turned the blooming gardens into an endless desert, where the last of the human race are trying to survive. But if the call pulls you forward, and wings open behind your back, then how can you stay away? So Alice begins her journey through sand and ashes to save those she loves. After the Fire is a story about hope beating in a winged heart, about faith that is so difficult to maintain, and love that is always stronger than death.
