They're the last two people on the planet. And sworn enemies.

Teens Jack Higgins and Skylar Williams are polar opposites. Jack is a word nerd who has a better chance of winning a spelling bee than surviving an apocalypse. Skylar is a tough tomboy with a potentially deadly secret who longs for a life of her own away from her overprotective father.

Then the world goes dark and the mysterious creatures appear. Now the only thing left to do is survive . . . at any cost. It's every man for himself, and anyone who gets in the way is expendable.

But as a blizzard rages outside, supplies are running out, and one thing is clear—no one's coming to rescue them. They're going to starve or freeze . . . if they don't kill each other first. The two form a tentative alliance, but before long, they realize that they're not alone after all, and the most dangerous monsters may not be the aliens.

It's a treacherous game of betrayal and survival as the fate of humanity hangs in the balance.
