Ashes in the Mouth — Jeff DeGordick

The faction war has ended, leaving blood soaking the land and bodies piled high. Sarah has turned her back on all of it and tries to find a new beginning along the lonely highways of North Carolina. But as she travels through isolated woods and gray skies, she begins to feel like she's not alone after all. Bodies litter her path, ones that have unusual and depraved causes of death. Someone is murdering passing travelers, and Sarah's next on the list. Running for her life, Sarah is chased by a sadistic serial killer. One who isn't bothered by pain. Who doesn't get tired. And who won't stop pursuing her until one of them is dead...
