NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER (November 2018) A stunning new novel from the #1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts-- Year One is an epic of hope and horror, chaos and magick, and a journey that will unite a desperate group of people to fight the battle of their lives...
The beginning comes next..
The end has come.
But a purpose awaits them that will shape their lives and the lives of all those who remain.
In a world of survivors where every stranger encountered could be either a savage or a savior, none of them knows exactly where they are heading, or why.
And Rachel and Jonah, a resourceful doctor and a paramedic who fend off despair with their determination to keep a young mother and three infants in their care alive.
Fred, her young colleague, possessed of burgeoning abilities and an optimism that seems out of place in this bleak landscape.
Arlys, a journalist who has lost her audience but uses pen and paper to record the truth.
Chuck, a tech genius trying to hack his way through a world gone offline.
At the same time, other travelers are heading west too, into a new frontier.
As word spreads that neither the immune nor the gifted are safe from the authorities who patrol the ravaged streets, and with nothing left to count on but each other, Lana and Max make their way out of a wrecked New York City.
Some of it is unimaginably evil, and it can lurk anywhere, around a corner, in fetid tunnels beneath the river--or in the ones you know and love the most.
Some of it is good, like the witchcraft worked by Lana Bingham, practicing in the loft apartment she shares with her lover, Max.
And as the power of science and technology receded, magick rose up in its place.
Where there had been order, there was now chaos.
The electrical grid sputtered; law and government collapsed--and more than half of the world\'s population was decimated.
Within weeks, everything people counted on began to fail them.
The fear spread even faster.
The sickness came on suddenly, and spread quickly.
It began on New Year\'s Eve.
