The reapers are the angels

Temple is trying to live one day at a time as she is living in a post-apocalyptic world, where zombies roam and the remnants of mankind seem to retain little humanity. She has known no other life and in this world she journeys to far-flung places. When she comes across Maury she attempts to set one thing right. If she is able to get him back to his family, it may bring forgiveness for some of the terrible things she has done.

In a world where the undead outnumber the living, Moses Todd roams the post-apocalyptic plains of America. His reprobate brother, Abraham - his only companion - has known little else. Together, they journey because they have to; because they have nowhere to go, and no one to answer to other than themselves. Travelling the bloody wastelands of this ruined world, Moses is looking for a kernel of truth, and a reason to keep going. And a chance encounter presents him with the Vestal Amata, a beguiling and mysterious woman who may hold the key to salvation. But he is not the only one seeking the Vestal. For the Vestal has a gift: a gift that might help save what is left of humanity. And it may take everything he has to free her from the clutches of those who most desire her. Praise for The Reapers Are The Angels: 'An intimate story, in an epic wasteland' Russell T. Davies, 'A literary/horror mashup that is unsettlingly good' USA Today, '[Bell's] sentences roll ... moving to the rhythm of the stilled, eerie environment' New York Times

Exit Kingdom

Temple n’a aucun souvenir du monde avant la chute. Son univers : une Amérique désolée, envahie par des hordes de zombies, où ce qu'il reste de l'humanité se terre dans des camps retranchés. Temple a quinze ans, mais le temps de l'innocence est depuis longtemps révolu. Elle est seule face à la nature, à ses miracles et à sa sauvagerie. Et derrière elle, immuable, se profile l'ombre de l'homme qui a juré de la tuer. Si ses jours sont comptés, Temple est bien décidée à profiter de ce que la vie peut encore lui offrir, et à découvrir ce que dissimule l'horizon.
