God is a slick god. Temple knows. She knows because of all the crackerjack miracles still to be seen on this ruined globe.

For twenty-five years, civilization has survived in meager enclaves, guarded against a plague of the dead. A young woman named Temple wanders this blighted landscape, keeping to herself and keeping her demons inside her heart. She can't remember a time before the zombies, but she does remember an old man who took her in and the younger brother she cared for until the tragedy that set her off on her personal journey toward redemption. Moving back and forth between the insulated remnants of society and the brutal frontier beyond, Temple must decide where ultimately to make a home and find the salvation she seeks.

A powerful story of survival and self-discovery, The Reapers are the Angels is terrifying, atmospheric, and gripping, from its haunting opening all the way through to its shocking conclusion.
