With the world overrun by human-devouring Florae, Amy (In the After) managed to escape from New Hope, a not-so-safe haven, but had to leave her foster sister behind. Now she travels to Fort Black to find a friend's brother, who can help plan a rescue mission. The monsters aren't nearly as terrifying as the human brutality, and sexual violence underscores the complex conclusion to this post-apocalyptic series.
