Angela Rizzo spent ten years scrubbing floors for the Bellini family. Ten years of whippings, stolen wages, and swallowing her pride like it was water. Then the apocalypse came, and the people she kept alive tied her to a pole and left her for the dead. She died screaming. Then she woke up two months before the end of the world, with a system in her head that could see anyone's secrets and a single goal burned into her bones: never be anyone's sacrifice again. "You think you can talk to me like that because I'm a maid?" Angela straightened her back, her eyes cold enough to freeze the room. Carmela laughed, thick and ugly. "You ARE a maid. You're lower than the rats in the basement, girl. You'll always be nothing." Angela smiled, and it was the kind of smile that made Carmela's laughter die in her throat. "Ask me that again in sixty days." A stolen necklace that bends space. A billionaire who owes her everything. A dying investigator who sees through every lie she tells. And a ticking clock counting down to the end of civilization. Angela doesn't want to save the world. She wants to own what's left of it. The girl they used as bait is done being prey. She's the one setting the trap now.

Mira never imagined that the two people she trusted most would be the ones to kill her. After being betrayed by her boyfriend and best friend, she is left trapped inside an abandoned shopping center, surrounded by monsters with nowhere to run. She dies believing her life is over—only to wake up in her old bedroom, thirty days before the red rain falls and the world collapses. This time, Mira refuses to make the same mistakes. She sells everything she owns and begins stocking up on food, medicine, weapons, and anything else she might need to survive. But while preparing for the apocalypse, she awakens a strange spatial storage ability that gives her an advantage she never had in her previous life. Then the red rain arrives earlier than she remembers. As the world descends into chaos, Mira retreats to the safe house she built and meets Adrian Cross, a dangerous and mysterious survivor who seems to know far more about the apocalypse than he should. But surviving the monsters isn't their only problem. Humans are becoming just as dangerous, and Mira's former boyfriend Ethan and best friend Clara eventually come looking for her help. Mira has no intention of saving the people who betrayed her. But Clara is hiding a secret of her own—a secret involving another rebirth—and the closer Mira gets to the truth, the more she realizes that the apocalypse was never as simple as she thought. Together with Adrian, Mira uncovers Project Genesis, a government experiment that triggered the catastrophe. Worse, she discovers that she has a connection to the project that was erased from her memories. With the red rain spreading, monsters evolving, and survivors turning against one another, Mira must uncover the truth before the world is completely destroyed.
