The Wild

In the forested mountains surrounding the ruined city of Denver lies a camp of survivors, a group of people desperate to stay hidden. The city was once their home, now it belongs to the wild.

Seventeen-year-old Neela Ray, who lives with her best friend alone in the woods, regards it as a sign of things to come when a young boy is taken from their camp by the wild. When nobody else offers to go look for him, Neela must risk everything to track him down.

Neela has been back to the city before, and for her, survival is second nature. Yet when an unexpected companion joins her side, she finds that surviving can be hard when distracted by love.

Without meaning to, they discover the source of the wild and come to realize the danger they face is even worse than they ever imagined. But if Neela is to get them home safely she must make choices no one wants to make, and question everyone she once trusted.
