It’s on one such trip to a town in France that they come wielding their weapons and fire and raising the town to the ground. They just wander from place to place scavenging and hiding from their fellow humans and also the dark fae. They were once more of them but numbers are dropping fast with the realities they face day to day. Vale is travelling with some fellow surviving humans mostly for safety there’s no camaraderie trust or loyalty amongst them everyone’s just out for themselves. Lighting a blazing path through what remains of the tatters of humanity. This is set against a post-apocalyptic landscape where society has been decimated when the sky’s turned dark it’s an endless night, technology failed and society turned on each other in the confusion and from there fear the people left scattered and are few and then the dark fae came finishing the job originally started by humans burning through what was left with there sacking of the towns and city’s and there total slaughter of the remaining humans. I don’t read many novellas but this one appealed to me the story unfolding here is incredibly imaginative and detailed and you can taste the despair and desperation that Vale feels toward her hopeless situation she’s just trying to survive a day at a time in the only way she knows how. I really enjoyed this it was dark and gritty and pulled me in instantly, it’s novella length a serial type novel and this is the first part of the story the rest of this is already out though so no waiting.
