After a post-apocalyptic showdown with a race of advanced mutants, Rachel Wheeler has lost everyone she loves in a hostile, contaminated land.
A half-mutant herself, she searches for the few remaining survivors with a dream of building a new civilization. But the survivors reject her strangeness, and the mutants don't trust her loyalties. Rachel is torn between two worlds, but she might be the key to stopping a terrible, ruthless world that will destroy them all.

I had a hard time getting through the whole after and next series. It was a good read though. Wouldn't recommend it for people with short attention span.
