Cass Dollar is a survivor. She's overcome the meltdown of civilization, humans turned mindless cannibals, and the many evils of man.
But from beneath the devastated California landscape emerges a tendril of hope. A mysterious traveler arrives at New Eden with knowledge of a passageway North—a final escape from the increasingly cunning Beaters. Clutching this dream, Cass and many others decamp and follow him into the unknown.
Journeying down valleys and over barren hills, Cass remains torn between two men. One—her beloved Smoke—is not so innocent as he once was. The other keeps a primal hold on her that feels like Fate itself. And beneath it all, Cass must confront the worst of what's inside her—dark memories from when she was a Beater herself. But she, and all of the other survivors, will fight to the death for the promise of a new horizon….
"Page-turning action and evocative, sensual, harrowing descriptions."
-Publishers Weekly, starred review on Aftertime

"Sophie Littlefield shows considerable skills for delving into the depths of her characters and complex plotting as she disarms the reader."
--South Florida Sun-Sentinel
"A new generation of post-apocalyptic fiction: a unique journey into a horrifying world of zombies, zealots and avarice that examines the strength of one woman, the joy of acceptance and the power of love. A must read."
--JT Ellison, author of A Deeper Darkness
"Like the series launch title, Aftertime, Rebirth is a book about what it means to love and be human disguised as a story about a zombie-riddled dystopia."
