Mercury Rhodes and her world were utterly changed when the bombs fell, releasing the green mist. While it proved deadly to all the men who breathed it in, it gave new life to women who did the same. The green mist provided each member of her newfound family an ability: Stellaâs heightened intuition, Imaniâs earthly connection, Karenâs bond with Spirit, and Gemmaâs healing ability. Although Mercury now has incredible physical strength, she doesnât know if she will be strong enough for what comes nextâespecially after the death of Ford, their companion through the aftermath of the mist. The group finds respite in creating a small community in the John Day Fossil Preserve, near the Painted Hills in Oregon. Together, they hope to find a place where they can start over and rebuild a better world. But Mercury knows it wonât be that simple, not when she knows someone, or something, is hunting themâsomething that wants to rule the ruins of the world and sees Mercury as a threat that must be eliminated. Mercury will have to muster all her strength if she is to fight for a new dawn. The fate of her friendsâand the worldâdepend on it.
