Feral Bloom
No reviews yet
“We pushed upriver into hell. We walked where nothing made sense. We lived a while in the company of madness.” Centuries after civilisation collapses, survivors cling to the British coastline, trapped between the ocean and the Bloom, a parasitic and predatory flora that releases a mind-destroying toxin. Surviving in the ruins, where packs of highly evolved dogs now dominate, scavenger Braska is captured and taken to the nearby stronghold of Crayport, where it is discovered that she has a dangerous secret. One that powerful matriarch Mother Cray is eager to exploit. When Braska is sent back into the wastelands with a volatile crew of her own captors—including the tenacious Temlyn and the obdurate Faron—she must play an unwilling guide while fighting tooth and nail for survival. Something lies at the end of the trail, but will the answers prove to be worth the sacrifice?
