The first in a planned series, The Fountain of the Earth is set on the West Coast following a catastrophic solar flare that has destroyed civilization, leaving only a few people struggling to survive. After witnessing the vicious murder of her mother, Terra Vonn (15) has a singular focus—exacting revenge on the killers. But before she can complete her plans, savagery intervenes and she is cast alone into a brutal post-apocalyptic world. As she trails the men south through a land filled with cannibalistic criminals, slave traders, and lunatics, the hunter becomes the hunted. Terra quickly learns that she is neither as tough nor as brave as she thinks she is. Worse, she may be the only one who stands between what little remains of civilization and destruction.

Review
I loved this book. I have already recommended this book to others. Terra is a wonderful character. She has to grow up in a society that looks down on females, she does go through so much, and then her leaving her village she knows she probably will not survive. And she goes through a lot for being a 15 year old girl. This makes an epic post apocalyptic YA read which any adult who likes these genres would enjoy. I am so looking forward to the next book!
