Maria is, in no particular order: a concept artist at one of Canada’s biggest videogame studios, the goddess of Mount Makiling in the Philippines, and in love.

And right now, being in love is her biggest problem.

Because when Maria falls in love, tragedy and death follow—and always have. For hundreds of years.

If she wants to break the cycle, it’s going to take everything a goddess, her newly-befriended, anime-obsessed demon-horse, and Canadian national treasure Margaret Atwood have to make it happen.

Eva is a survivor.

She’s not sure what she survived, exactly, only that They invaded without warning, killed nearly all of humanity, and relentlessly attack everyone who’s left.

All she can do to stay sane, in the blockaded city that’s no longer home, is keep a journal about her struggle.
Fifty years later, Eva’s words are found by Emerson, a young anthropologist sent to the ruins to study what happened.

The discovery could shed light on the Invasion, turning the unyielding mystery of the short war into a story of hope and defiance.

“Premee Mohamed writes with a joyous velocity that careens through genre-lines, whipping the reader helplessly after her. One of the most exciting voices I’ve heard in a long time.” – John Hornor Jacobs

“One of the most exciting new voices in speculative fiction.” – Silvia Moreno-Garcia
