Introduction to Wishing For Spring
Humanity is worth the struggle.
Nuclear war. A devastating plague, turning people into blood sucking monsters. The Bleak, a mysterious darkness that keeps expanding. Winter that has lapsed several years. Through these catastrophes, many have persevered.
The people of Fisham have huddled together, safeguarding knowledge and skills lost to many, under the protection of Rena. But she was cast out, only with Peter and his young family remaining loyal - but even that has its limits.
Linda and Lily, sisters from a different settlement struggle against the odds stacked against them. Lily has been infected, and Linda will do everything to safeguard her from her doomed fate.
From across the ocean, two vampires arrive with pieces of a larger puzzle that may lead them to unlock the mystery of the Bleak, and change the world for the better. But better for whom?
This story takes place nearly 200 years after Waiting For Sunrise but differs in theme, genre, scope and style. Instead of following a single protagonist as its predecessor did, this sequel will follow a variety of characters and a variety of different points of view.
