The
first in a planned series, The Fountain of the Earth is set on the West
Coast following a catastrophic solar flare that has destroyed
civilization, leaving only a few people struggling to survive. After
witnessing the vicious murder of her mother, Terra Vonn (15) has a
singular focus—exacting revenge on the killers. But before she can
complete her plans, savagery intervenes and she is cast alone into a
brutal post-apocalyptic world. As she trails the men south through a
land filled with cannibalistic criminals, slave traders, and lunatics,
the hunter becomes the hunted. Terra quickly learns that she is neither
as tough nor as brave as she thinks she is. Worse, she may be the only
one who stands between what little remains of civilization and
destruction.
Tagline:
Terra Vonn is fighting to survive in a destroyed world,
surrounded by unspeakable horror . . .
and things are about to get much worse.
