Serenade Our End Ian Gill

The world as it was once known is gone. Humanity as it was once known is gone. All that remains is a dwindling food supply and the desire for those still living to journey onward. Survival in this world is a constant struggle against one's fellow man and against Sin, the mysterious ailment that is the source of the world's downfall. Serenade Our End is the tale of two teenage boys, Quinn and Ezra, as they travel across the Midwest in search of answers and an escape from the decaying land they inhabit. Their resources are few, their troubles are many, and their road is long. In spite of this, the two boys forge forward into a harsh world, eager to do whatever it takes to save some semblance of humanity.

Ultimately, Serenade Our End is a story of people: who we are, what we hold dear, and what we are willing to do when the lights go out. In this world, with no government left to govern, each person must make their own compact with those around them, and with themselves, in order to endure. With nothing but each other, Quinn and Ezra must also reconcile their own actions on their quest for a better world. Human society may have been ripped apart piece by piece, but the complexity and confusion of coexisting with one another thrives in the human race, even into the apocalypse.
