White Horse by Alex Adams
"The Plague That Killed The World's Population"
The jar was the beginning; it appeared out of nowhere, delivered by no one to be found sitting in her living room. No one can say how it arrived, this ancient jar, or where it came from. But all that was secondary, the only thing to matter now was what the jars sudden presence in her home and in her life meant. The jar was a mystery, and the only thing she knew for curtain was that this mysterious jar frightened her.
It started with the weather, then it was the war. But it wasn't just one country against another, if it had been there might have been somewhere safe to run to, but it was the whole world and nowhere was safe. Now there were monsters lurking were before there were only people. With no where safe, she ran in the direction of the one person she loved, because at the end of the world where else would she want to be.
Having lost everyone she ever cared for, somehow she still manages to carry on. Because despite the disease, the death, and the monsters, despite the end of the world, life still goes on. Armed only with hope, she will walk halfway across the world to find a new beginning for the future, or she will die trying, for what else has she to live for.
White Horse
is a gripping tale of the end of the world and those who are left
behind to survive it. This is the story of one ordinary woman who makes a
heroic journey across a wasted and broken earth in search of hope, love
and life on the other side of the world. As the story unfolds the truth
about the jar, the war and her love is uncovered. This is a survival
story that tells of strength and humanity in a world that is no longer
what it was. An intelligent, passionate and keenly written story that
will hold you captive.
