Stung

Fiona doesn't remember going to sleep. But when she opens her eyes, she discovers her entire world has been alteredamp;mdash;her house is abandoned and broken, and the entire neighborhood is barren and dead. Even stranger is the tattoo on her right wristamp;mdash;a black oval with five marks on either sideamp;mdash;that she doesn't remember getting but somehow knows she must cover at any cost.

Only the solution was deadlier than the original problemamp;mdash;the vaccination turned people into ferocious, deadly beasts who were branded as a warning to unvaccinated survivors. Key people needed to rebuild society are protected from disease and beasts inside a fortress-like wall. But Fiona has awakened branded, aloneamp;mdash;and on the wrong side of the wall.
