All That's Left in the World

Andrew arrives at Jamie's house injured and starving, with nothing left to lose. A deadly pathogen has wiped out most of the world's population, and both boys have lost everyone they ever loved. Desperate strangers are a threat now, yet the two trust each other quickly, and neither can quite say why.

When danger breaks into the shelter, the two flee south, hoping to find some form of civilization. Not everything about Andrew's story adds up, and the gap between what he says and what is true could cost them both. Jamie keeps a secret of his own: he is starting to feel more than friendship for Andrew, and that adds fear and confusion to an already rough trip.

This is a postapocalyptic young adult adventure and a queer romance, built around a long road and two boys who have to be honest with each other to stay alive. Expect fear and uncertainty alongside the pull between the leads.

The road is long, and to get through it Andrew and Jamie have to give up their secrets, own what they have done, and find the nerve to fight for the future they want. Their bond is the one thing in their ruined world that feels certain.
