Ashes, Ashes by Jo Treggiari

Ashes, Ashes by Jo Treggiari is a thrilling tale of adventure, romance, and one girl’s unyielding courage through the darkest of nightmares.
Epidemics, floods, droughts–for sixteen-year-old Lucy, the end of the world came and went, taking 99% of the population with it.
As the weather continues to rage out of control, and Sweepers clean the streets of plague victims, Lucy survives alone in the wilds of Central Park.
But when she’s rescued from a pack of hunting dogs by a mysterious boy named Aidan, she reluctantly realizes she can’t continue on her own. She joins his band of survivors, yet, a new danger awaits her: the Sweepers are looking for her.
There’s something special about Lucy, and they will stop at nothing to have her.

“Ashes, Ashes is a compelling, fast-paced read… The story never flags, and the reader’s attention never wavers. There is something here for just about everyone- romance, survival drama, action, mystery.” (Quill & Quire, Starred Review)

“Jo Treggiari hits a post-apocalyptic trifecta: environmental disasters, plague, and amoral scientists…a fast gripping read…this thriller reads like a love letter to wilderness survival guides and disaster movies.” (Publisher’s Weekly)
