Dust & Decay
Quotes from the Book
Once I had opened a book and read its pages, those characters could never be taken away from me. Even if the books were burned, they would still live on in my mind.
If we keep punishing people for what their parents or their ancestors have done, the world as a whole can never move forward. Society will never grow.
That’s the funny thing about guns; even untrained hands can feel powerful using them. But take that gun away and you’re left with nothing but a coward whose only skill is how to blindly pull a trigger.

There is no good or evil here, it all depends on what side you're standing. Nor is it about wrong or right, it's about surviving." Triven
In all of my adventures, nothing ever smelled quite like an old book.
With time, open wounds only fester, better to let them heal and forgive than to fester with hate.
Some things that are broken stay broken. There is no putting the pieces back together.
If destroying Hell meant partnering with the devil, that was a risk I was willing to take.
I know you’re scared. I’m scared too, all of the time. But I have been running for the last six years and I can’t run anymore. Our world is falling apart. We aren’t living, not really. We are just… surviving.

About the book
Worlds collide in debut author Jennifer Wilson's graphic dystopian series where Divergent meets Mad Max.
Since witnessing her parents' murders at the age of eleven, Phoenix's only purpose in life has been to uphold her mother's dying words - to be strong and survive. But surviving outside of The Walls - outside of The Sanctuary - is more like a drawn-out death sentence. A cruel and ruthless city, Tartarus is run by the Tribes whose motto is simple, "Join or die."
Refusing to join and determined to live, Phoenix fights to survive in this savage world. But who can she trust, when no one can be trusted? Not even herself...
The first of a trilogy, New World Rising is an epic tale of survival, instinct, trauma, and the extraordinary power of human connection.
"Savage and raw, Jennifer Wilson pulls no punches in this blood tingling dystopian." Kimberly Derting, award-winning au
