The Faces of Lions

When the world morphs from normal to nightmare, tough sixteen-year-old Asha McTiernan does what comes natural-protect those she loves, no matter the cost. As Asha, her younger sister Mary, and two others from her apartment building set out, they discover what's happened is worse than anything they could've imagined-a landscape littered with dead bodies, and no adult survivors. None, that is, except for the ones that didn't survive intact. They can't be reasoned with and seem fixed on eliminating what's left of the population. Learning to avoid the damaged people, Asha and her group make their way out of the city and into the countryside, where an unfathomable tragedy triggers something inside of Asha. This strange, newfound ability ends up leading them to a safe haven-safe until an unexpected guest arrives. The Faces of Lions, Book One. The battle between good and evil has begun.
