โฆ Synopsis
Calla surrendered everything she had ever known to save April from a fate worse than death, only to discover the world she and April now face may be just as horrific as the one they left.
With an entire population facing the greatest famine humankind has ever known, the dangers of the mainland prove to be much worse than Calla could have imagined.
From the moment they reach the rocky shoreline, the two girls encounter a monster of a man named Cain, whose main job is to find food for the local preacher and his congregation. And Cain is very good at his job.
As an entire city is reduced to a bonfire of decaying bodies burning in the street, Calla and April have to find a way to survive when all hope seems to be lost. But will it be possible when two very different worlds, the futuristic city of Ancada and the dystopian mainland, are both trying to capture them?
**_FAMINE _**is the second book in the **_IMMEDIATE EMPIRE _**trilogy. If you liked the first book, you'll be on the edge of your seat as Calla and April's journey continues.
