Citadel: The Concordant Sequence – a post-apocalyptic young-adult novel<\/p>\n

Eleven year old Kiera Quinn is sure she\u2019s having a nightmare. She doesn\u2019t believe a nap that started safe in her suburban bedroom ends in an empty wasteland. She doesn\u2019t believe everyone she\u2019s ever known may have never existed\u2015and she definitely doesn\u2019t believe an old man who tells her she will resurrect the world.<\/p>\n

After he finds her crawling from a vent, the odd shaman clad in junk and old computer parts claims she is \u2018the child born of the earth,\u2019 humanity\u2019s only chance to survive. As crazy as he sounds, being alone in a vast desert frightens her more than a kindly stranger. Desperate and scared, Kiera humors him, hoping her bad dream ends soon.<\/p>\n

Fate has a funny habit of getting in the way of destiny. When an opportunity for a safe home presents itself, Kiera jumps at the chance. New parents and a new town\u2015even a super-primitive tribal village\u2015feel like the best place for a child to be, not off saving the world at the ramblings of a nutty old man. Adjusting to life without video games isn\u2019t easy, but her new mom and dad give her what her old ones couldn\u2019t: time and attention.<\/p>\n

Alas, Kiera\u2019s discovery of a secret within ancient ruins causes the ruler of the distant Citadel to regard her as a threat in need of disposal. Her only chance to keep her new family is to believe a crazy old man wasn\u2019t so crazy\u2015and that saving them won\u2019t destroy the whole planet.<\/p>\n
