Solstice Dayton and her squad flex their new superhuman powers in a fire-scorched wasteland, taking on zombie-like dazers while aliens secretly scheme to wipe out Earth.

In the desolation of the Firegale, Solstice uncovers three truths. First, the government let everyone she knew burn. Second, survivors were doomed to decay in the daze virus. And third, her only hope was to rise from the ashes and evolve.

Luckily, she’s not the only gifted teen crawling out of the wasteland with powers, problems, and an attitude in the apocalypse. The fire awakens seven solitaires and gives a few teens unconventional powers, like glowing eyes, finger tingles, windy hair, and freckles.

And Solstice isn’t just any girl. She’s an immaculately conceived immortal sun deity with a sentient dog, a destiny she definitely did not manifest, and enough power to make the galaxy regret its choices.

If you love post-apocalyptic survival thrillers, young adult fantasy, dystopian fiction, superpowered teens, and end-of-the-world stakes, you’ll devour The Burnt Sunset series. Think Percy Jackson mashed up with Divergent and The Hunger Games, then add zombies, aliens, and fire. Then more fire.

Will Solstice and her friends rise above the ash, or will they get squashed by shadow and flame? Read the young adult dystopian apocalyptic fantasy science fiction genre-blending series today.
