Wren Archelatta lives a (mostly) normal life... confined to the top floor apartment of the building, with only her grandmother and her father for company.

She lives like this because of the global pandemic that has wiped entire nations off the face of the earth. The disease that took her mother's life.

On Wren's sixteenth birthday, her "normal" to life is shattered when her father and grandmother are kidnapped and their apartment ransacked. With the help of her cute new neighbour Lukas, can Wren finally leave the behind her apartment, find her family and solve the mysteries of her past? Can she find the courage to explore the world outside her bedroom window?

The World Outside My Bedroom Window

We'd been out on the raft for nearly an hour now. With no sense of direction whatsoever, we might as well have been going around in circles. Tempers were running short, as was the limited supply of fuel. 


The conversation of the past hour had been as such: 


Priti: I'd be able to navigate if the constellations were visible. 


Lukas: will I have to wait until night for food?! 


Priti: it's the beginning of the day, we can't possibly wait. 


Me: but we're running out oil for the motor, we can't just float away. 


Jasper: besides, they could come for us in that time. 


Me: I'll push you off the raft if you dare fall asleep. 


Jasper: I'll check. Okay, we have enough for... two more hours of steady use.
