About

The pandemic wasn't a slow burn; it was a flash flood. A weaponized respiratory virus swept the globe in forty-two days, targeting a specific genetic sequence present in 99.99% of the population. By some cosmic fluke of mutated DNA, Jono and Jonah shared a rare, recessively linked immunity. They watched their families, teachers, and classmates dissolve into feverish madness within forty-eight hours. Best friends since the first grade, they never imagined their bond would become the final anchor of the human race. They are each other’s history, present, and future. In a world with no rules left to break and no one to judge, the boundary between the boys they were and whatever they are becoming has blurred beyond recognition. All that remains is the tide pulling a pair of 18 year olds together—and the terrifying, beautiful truth that in the ashes of everything, they have found a love that is entirely their own.
