About this audiobook

Those who will not work to build the new world will burn the old one.

In a post-apocalyptic world where humanity teeters on the edge of extinction, one lone scout for a snowbound tribe stumbles upon a pristine dome preserving the last remnants of civilization. Frozen in perfect stasis, the survivors await the birth of the new world. 

But the watchers have all fled, leaving one young woman behind to keep the lonely vigil. If she leaves, the survivors will be lost—unless one of their own will take upon himself the responsibility. Unfortunately, there are only two kinds of people in the world: those who build and those who burn.
