The Living Hunger experience continues with The Lasting Hunger - a boy's rite of passage becomes a traitor's stumbling block. In a land left barren by apocalyptic horrors, a close-knit community holds tight to the notion that family, peace, and prosperity are more than fanciful dreams. The Ward, a hodgepodge of ex-soldiers, farmers, and everyday people, occupy a university and the surrounding city. They long for a sense of normalcy, and are bound by trust and honor. United under leadership from a council of their peers, they battle the elements, disease, and Harvesters: cutthroats who roam the landscape in search of hapless, tasty victims. To the north, and desperate for a 'kingdom' to call her own, Juanita Williams enslaves those she can and destroys the rest. Paired in a sadistic alliance with Harvesters, she plots to overtake the West; employing ruthless, inhumane tactics in her quest for power and supremacy. Yet something stands in her way, The Ward and their Normals - children born from unique circumstances to save humanity. These offspring possess the rare ability to assimilate vitamin A, the key to survival and procreation...something Lady Williams must have. Both sides struggle through a dangerous game of cat and mouse, losing friends and loved ones along the way. Some fall, while others rise to fill a void left in their wake - Jeff Jenson is such an individual, a Normal, raised in humility to rally his friends against an evil that thirsts for their blood. Follow the heroic tale of a people consumed by a Living Hunger, only to discover how Lasting it can be...
