After Juneau's clan disappears, she learns the truth--they weren't the sole survivors of a nuclear war. They were, in fact, in hiding. Juneau and her people barely age, never get diseased, and can communicate with nature. Their enemies would dissect them to gain their powers. With the help of Miles, an outsider who once was her enemy, Juneau is close to finding her clan again--but they are walking into a trap.

Sequel to: After the end.
