EMP (The EMP Journey #2)

They crossed a continent for a cure. Now the cure has a door, and something is standing outside it, begging to be let in.

Chloe Buck went into the black water at the marina with a bullet in her side. Liam and Isaiah searched until the light died. The sea gave them nothing.

But the tide carries what it takes, and what it took, it left in a drowned forest of silver willows where bones hang from the branches on wire and twenty-two survivors barricade themselves in concrete every single night.

Because something lives in those trees. It wears the faces of your dead. It knows the songs your daughter made up when she was six. It cannot open a door, cannot lift a stone, cannot touch a single thing in this world.

It can only ask.

And it has been practicing.

Liam Perry has four rounds left, two thousand miles between him and everyone he loves, and a sealed laboratory three hundred miles north in a city ruled by killers. He is going to find out what is behind that steel door.

So is the thing in the willows.

It just needs a pair of hands.
