The eagerly awaited addition to the series begun with the New York Times best-seller Life As We Knew It, in which a meteor knocks the moon off its orbit and the world changes forever.

It's been more than two years since Jon Evans and his family left Pennsylvania, hoping to find a safe place to live, yet Jon remains haunted by the deaths of those he loved. His prowess on a soccer field has guaranteed him a home in a well-protected enclave. But Jon is painfully aware that a missed goal, a careless word, even falling in love, can put his life and the lives of his mother, his sister Miranda, and her husband, Alex, in jeopardy. Can Jon risk doing what is right in a world gone so terribly wrong?


  • A Post-Apocalyptic World: Where volcanic ash darkens the sky and enclaves protect the privileged few, Jon's only currency is his skill on the soccer field.
  • Haunted by the Past: The ghosts of those he couldn't save follow him into the enclave, a constant reminder that his new life was built on someone else's sacrifice.
  • Survival at All Costs: In Sexton, one wrong move—on the field or off—means expulsion. For Jon, protecting his family means playing by the brutal rules of the elite, even when it tears him apart.
  • A Moral Dilemma: When a new girl challenges the enclave's injustices, Jon is torn between protecting his precarious position and fighting for what's right in a world that has forgotten the meaning of the word.
