The collapse of civilisation has left the survivors scattered amongst a few settlements along the wilderness fringe of a land ravaged by war. Preyed upon by roving bands of sadistic ex-soldiers and ever at the mercy of a natural world that has turned against them, a family is facing their final days. Hope appears in the guise of their young son, who is thrust headlong into a battle for the future of humankind after rescuing a girl fleeing a cult. Raw and unflinching, A Desolate Splendor heralds the rise of an exciting new voice in apocalyptic fiction.
