Mortal Tether

For fans of STRANGER THINGS, THE HUNGER GAMES, & THE LAST OF US… Teenagers inherit the Earth when an alien virus twists every human over age 20 into monsters called geists. In the light, these creatures combust into harmless clouds of glittering ash, but as darkness falls, they solidify into terrors of bone claws and blackened teeth, wrapped in skin like cracking concrete. Geists respawn each night, vicious, ravenous, and worst of all - immortal. With the sky raining ash and electrical grids failing, a ray of light is the thin line between life & death. Fourteen-year-old Amaia can’t save the world, but she is desperate to save her older brother Carlos. That idiot ran off to play hero the night the world ended. He never came home. Terrified and alone, Amaia forms an unlikely alliance with Liam, the cute boy from across the street. Her instincts scream that Liam’s hiding some nasty secret, though she has no choice but to trust him as they create a safe haven in her attic. Instead of finding weapons to protect themselves, the pair get saddled with an orphaned baby they find in the backseat of a wrecked minivan… a complication that could tear them apart. While searching for her brother, a turf war erupts outside as two factions of teenage survivors clash over dwindling resources. The last thing Amaia and Liam need is to get caught in the crossfire, but when the baby’s cries betray their hiding place, the pair is forced to choose a side and level up their survival skills STAT. Amaia will find the people she runs to for help... are the deadliest monsters of all. MORTAL TETHER is an award-winning, totally unputdownable teens vs. the apocalypse sci-fi thriller best suited for Ages 13 - Adult.
