    About this audiobook

    Katharyn Blair crafts a fiercely feminist fantasy with a horrifying curse, swoon-worthy sea captains, and the power of one girl to choose her own fate in this contemporary standalone adventure that's perfect for fans of The Fifth Wave and Seafire, and for anyone who has ever felt unchosen.

    For Charlotte Holloway, the world ended twice.

    The first was when her childhood crush, Dean, fell in love—with her older sister.

    The second was when the Crimson, a curse spread through eye contact, turned the majority of humanity into flesh-eating monsters.

    Neither end of the world changed Charlotte. She’s still in the shadows of her siblings. Her popular older sister, Harlow, now commands forces of survivors. And her talented younger sister, Vanessa, is the Chosen One—who, legend has it, can end the curse.

    When their settlement is raided by those seeking the Chosen One, Charlotte makes a reckless decision to save Vanessa: she takes her place as prisoner.

    The word spreads across the seven seas—the Chosen One has been found.

    But when Dean’s life is threatened and a resistance looms on the horizon, the lie keeping Charlotte alive begins to unravel. She’ll have to break free, forge new bonds, and choose her own destiny if she has any hope of saving her sisters, her love, and maybe even the world.

    Because sometimes the end is just a new beginning.

      Pirates, zombie acopalypse, and the chosen one, the savior, and her sister.
    • 5/5
      This book came out in 1963, and while the some of the attitudes and language might seem a little dated when read today, the situations are timeless. Debbie, Kay and Ellen (the narrator and main character) are three 17 year-old high school seniors who have never had a date. While at first they seems to not care, it's apparent that they care very much and they try to do something about it. This book is written with tenderness and the writer is gifted in young adult fiction. I liked this book very much and I think it will appeal to teenagers.
