Marble

by Daniel Radford, Nicki Snyder (Editor)

When the Liberation Movement detonated the nuclear bomb, many lives were lost. But some survived. Battered and broken, they must struggle on if they want to see happier times again.

Emina had always lived a spoiled and privileged life. She never experienced much hardship and never wanted any responsibility. In the wake of the attack on Kudin, she finds herself among the survivors and soon has eleven-year-old Saba and six-year-old Arben under her care. To get through the nightmarish situation she finds herself in, she must confront her own failings all while striving to survive her new reality.
