To survive, trust no one.

An explosive dystopian YA novel perfect for fans of The Last of Us and All That's Left in the World.

A devastating fungal pandemic has wiped out most of society. Dayna and Pax live in an isolated house in the countryside, learning to survive in the world left behind. But when their father gets sick, they make a choice that changes everything: they summon help from the outside. And they’re not prepared for the betrayal that follows...

Dayna and Pax must race against time across a ruthless landscape to save their father. They won't be able to do it on their own, but who can they trust in a world where survival is everything?

A powerful post-apocalyptic story about growing up fast and facing impossible choices.

About the Author

Miranda Reason grew up in an Anglo-German household, spending part of her childhood living in Hastings on the coast of Southern England and part in a small village in Bavaria. Alongside writing and reading, Miranda is passionate about films and film history. She works as a film restorer of classic German movies. Although now living in Germany, she still prefers English for writing and storytelling, thanks to all the classic and contemporary English children's books her dad read to her as a child. Day of Now is her debut novel.
