Pandora Jones: Admission begins with Pandora Jones waking in an infirmary, her body weak and her memory offering only flashes of horrific scenes of death. She soon discovers that her family has succumbed to a plague pandemic that nearly wiped out humanity.

Pandora is one of the survivors admitted to The School, a quarantined, heavily guarded survival-skills facility. Here, survivors are encouraged to recover their strength, hone their skills, and prepare for whatever comes next.

Pandora's particular skill is intuition, but she wonders how useful it will be outside the secure walls of The School. Her intuition may lead her to question where the truth truly lies.

Themes of plague, pandemic, intuition, secrets, truth, courage, action, and survival are central to this gripping tale. Explore the challenges that await Pandora as she navigates a world both unknown and dangerous.
