Year One by Nora Roberts | Tell Tale

The sickness struck without warning, spreading like wildfire. But fear spread even faster. In a matter of weeks, everything people relied on began to crumble. The power grid failed, law and government collapsed, and more than half of humanity perished. Where there was once order, only chaos remained. As science and technology faded, magic began to rise. Some of it, like Lana Bingham’s witchcraft, is used for good. But some is dark, hiding in shadows, tunnels, or even in those you trust most. With danger everywhere, Lana and her lover, Max, escape a ruined New York City, knowing the immune and the gifted are hunted. Elsewhere, others make their way west: Chuck, a tech genius hacking through a world gone offline; Arlys, a journalist still seeking the truth; Fred, a young optimist with new abilities; and Rachel and Jonah, medical professionals fighting to protect a young mother and her babies.
