Description
The rain took everything. The sun will test what's left. From New York Times bestselling author Matt Eicheldinger comes the pulse-pounding sequel to When the Rain Came, a gripping survival story about truth, hunger, and the desperate will to survive.
The rain is gone. The sun has come.
And the world is burning.
Aurora and Kota journey toward Redfern-a refugee shelter that promises safety but demands obedience. Inside, nothing is simple. Trust is currency. Secrets are weapons. And The Hill is still out there . . .
As the heat presses in, Aurora can feel Kota slipping further away from her reach, even though their survival depends on each other. But the secret he's hiding could destroy more than just the fragile trust between them, it could doom them all.
Survival isn't guaranteed. One mistake and everything burns.

Person
New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Matt Eicheldinger wasn't always a writer. He spent most of his childhood playing soccer, reading comics, and trying his best to stay out of trouble. Matt lives in Bloomington, Minnesota with his wife and two children, and tries to create new adventures with them whenever possible. When he's not writing, you can find him telling students stories in the classroom or trail running along the Minnesota River Bottoms.
