    Summary

    The kid squirmed by his side, and his eyes flicked to her. They had a silent conversation, one in which the kid made a demanding expression and nodded towards Lucy emphatically, making the man turn back to her with a slight furrow to his brow as he asked, “You said you’re a doctor?”

    “I am.” Lucy said “and if you’re who I think you are, then I know why you’re here.”

    “Holy shit,” the kid breathed, voice soft with awe.“we actually fucking made it?”

    “No, you didn’t.” Lucy replied, guilt stabbing at her for being the one to dash the elated expression right off the kids face. “and if I were you, I’d turn around and go back wherever the fuck you came from. The fireflies can’t help you and you can’t help them.”

    ***

    Dr Lucy Rolland did not believe in a cure, and she certainly didn't believe in the fireflies anymore. Then she stumbled across Ellie and Joel at the university in Colorado, and was dragged back into the search for a cure kicking and screaming.

    Summary

    Finn has settled into life in Jackson, Wyoming. Five years have passed since the hospital in Salt Lake City, and for the first time, life has begun to feel almost normal. Patrols. Horses. Snowstorms. Winter dances. Family.

    But peace in this world has always been fragile.

    After ghosts from the past invade Jackson, old wounds split open, and the promise of revenge threatens to consume everyone left behind. As loyalties fracture and the line between enemy and protector begins to blur, Finn finds herself turning into the soldier she never wanted to be.

    Because hatred is easy. Survival is easy. But understanding the people who destroyed your life?

    That may be the hardest thing of all.

    Summary

    "But as Joel wheeled her out of the hospital and helped her into the passenger seat of a musty old truck and told her they were finally going back to Jackson with this bone-tired relief on his face, she decided that whatever she was to Joel mattered after all. It mattered a whole fucking lot.

    Because whatever she was to him had earned her all these sweet little things while they were stuck in Salt Lake, and all those little things started making her believe stupid things—that she was important to him, that he liked having her around, that he…

    In weaker moments, all those little things made her think that maybe he wanted her.

    But then she’d remember those words. The way his voice had been colder than the day they’d met, when she was nothing but cargo for him to carry against his will. She’d gotten so used whatever it was they were until he went and said those stupid fucking words.

    "You aren’t my daughter, and I sure as hell ain’t your dad."

    And suddenly, on the drive to somewhere that she wanted more than anything to call home, nothing made sense anymore."
