The Waste is a strange place. Long gone is the old world with buildings taller than trees and massive cities home to millions. Now The Waste is a world of the barest survival where bullets are used as money and ownership of a single book is a sign of great wealth. But especially in the bleakest settings, a person must always be aware of death. This time, death is flowing over The Waste in unstoppable hoards of vicious killers on horseback… And only a single man and woman can stop it. But he doesn’t care. And she cares too much.
