Runners: A Post-Apocalyptic Pandemic Thriller
Hunted for surviving, now they’re surviving by hunting!
Molly, Ella, and their friends were hunted because of their biology. They became lethal because of their need.
When a virus of unknown origin wiped out 90% of biological females, the world was plunged into chaos. The US government declared that surviving females must be protected for the good of humanity.
Every female of child-bearing age underwent forcible surgery to attach a brain implant, a Core, which recorded their location at every movement. Locked down and stripped of their rights, those who wouldn’t obey were sold into slavery.
Unless they ran.
Pursued by government agents named Consecrators, local strong-arm thugs called Bleeders, and even her own mother, Molly is tired of running. Now it’s time to fight back.
Perfect for fans of The Maze Runner and The Hunger Games!

Run and never stop
I truly wish this wasn’t so believable in premise of a post-pandemic gender problem but sadly.. even people have the strength of chacthers to not break.

I love everything Kayla Krantz writes! As with her other books, this dystopian thriller exhibits her unique voice with memorable characters and a unique take on the genre.
