From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of These Violent Delights comes a dazzling dual-timeline novel of outbreak and heartbreak, about two lonely people finding their way back to one another during a deadly apocalypse.

This is the beginning of a love story. In the heart of Manhattan, amid bustling streets and towering skyscrapers, two lives intersect at a party. Morgan is a once-popular influencer, now in the grind of corporate work. Theo is a screenwriter, searching for inspiration anywhere he can find it. They fall in love.

This is the end of the world. When they break up, Morgan almost feels too sorry for herself to notice a virus spreading like wildfire—until the sick start biting, and the city is barricaded to contain the spread.

Stuck at the bottom of Manhattan, she must find her mother and journey more than a hundred blocks to the barrier, where Theo's desperately trying to keep the passageway open for them. In the chaos, she begins to livestream her quest for survival, becoming humanity's sole glimpse into its own unraveling. It isn't easy when each neighbourhood, each landmark, each piece of the city is an echo of her relationship with Theo... before she tore it all apart.

As Morgan's forced to confront her deepest wounds, she must set herself free from the cycles she's doomed to repeat—and what better place to start than at the end?
