Summary
The beach was supposed to be the end of it, but moving on doesn’t always mean letting go. Ellie didn’t know how to live with the pain she’d caused. She found purpose through Vanguard- an organization dedicated to finding a vaccine. Even if it’s the death of her. Abby found her place among the Fireflies of Catalina Island but not everything was as she’d hoped. Their paths cross as a new enemy stirs on the mainland. They’ll need each other to find the light in the darkness.
