Ara
Is desperate to reunite with her father and put the events that happened in Boise behind her. Ara hopes to find sanctuary in The Last City,an almost-mythical place where the plague is non-existent and she can finally discover the truth about her family. Only once she arrives, the truth is stranger than fiction and Ara wonders if she’s made a huge mistake . . .
Kaden
Will go anywhere and will do anything for Ara.. But he’s tested to his limits in The Last City, where he is forced to join a dangerous expedition. Kaden soon finds himself separated from Ara and once again on the run for his life. Barely escaping alive, he needs to risk it all again to find Ara in The Last City . . .
Sam
Is left for dead but very much alive. In fact, he’s rigged an electrical system and blasts some music, feeling almost normal for the first time since almost losing his life. He doesn’t know where Kaden and Ara are, and when he meets a mysterious girl named E, they embark on an adventure that will bring all of their lives clashing together . . .
All three must uncover the secrets of The Last City if they have any hope of getting out of this apocalypse alive. Set immediately after the events of The Last She, H.J. Nelson’s The Last City is a gripping story of three people desperate to survive against all odds, and love is sometimes all that matters.
