Elise brings the Ashes, Ashes series to a close narrating the young survivors final journey from Survivors City into the great unknown in search of safety and place to call home.
Long ago, Liam made a promise: to take Elise "home"--back to her native country in Central America. The hope of returning there seemed impossible but now, with the horror of life in "civilization" far too real, Elise's mountain village seems like the only sanctuary left on earth--if it survived and if the remaining kids can reach it with their bond of connection to each other in place. As the effects of fighting to stay alive in a nuclear wasteland begin to take their toll, Elise comes of age with doubts about her faith in humanity, in love and the price of survival.
PRAISE for THE MOUNTAIN
As always, the author holds no punches. There is nothing pretty or fluffy about the aftermath of nuclear war. In fact, I think this is probably the most realistic of all the post-nuclear war books I've read, and I have read a lot of them.
A wonderful, beautiful story in each book.
Fell in love with the characters in the books and cried more than a few times. Read all six books in 3 days.
Grimly realistic, but oddly uplifting in many ways.
Genre: Science Fiction
