Calista escapes the earthquake that destroys the tunnel communities. Quake City calls, offering security and a new life with Mathew and the Carbonites. But Josephine, Castor Seville's new wife, has a secret she wants Calista to share, and one of the M.I.C.s has survived and is coming to claim his children. Calista's journey through the Nuclear Dawn of New Zealand continues with challenges and surprises. She will need all the skills she has learned to cope with them.

Quake City: A page-turning epic story! Deryn Pittar crafts a top-notch sequel to The Carbonite's Daughter. This is a must-read if you enjoyed Calista's journey as a young woman navigating post-apocalyptic New Zealand.' - Denise Fitzpatrick, New Zealand-based author

'A gripping tale set in the hills of the South Island of New Zealand with characters who live in an imaginary future, combined with the simplicity of 200 years ago. A thought-provoking story for young readers.' - Lyndsay Campbell, New Zealand-based author

'Another great story! Set in futuristic NZ, the dystopian setting is totally plausible for a Post Nuclear Dawn. The characters were believable, and the storyline captures the struggles and triumphs in their journey. This second book follows on from The Carbonite's Daughter and completes Calista's story.' - Julie Gilligan, New Zealand-based author and poet
