May — Andy Lockwood

Though the world outside continues to move forward, for the Intercalary, life has come to a standstill. Their numbers are dwindling, their hope broken. And even though a flicker of promise still stands against the darkness, chaos erupts and threatens to snuff out the last bit of light in their hearts. Ember and their small contingent think they know who is behind it, but could it be true? Are they being haunted by the past, or is someone playing a cruel game even now? This is the fifth installment in a 12-part serial thriller.
