eBook
Pages: 320
Jemma has spent her life scavenging
tools and supplies for her tribe in the their small enclave outside what used
to be a big city. Now she’s a teen, and old enough to become a Mama. Making
babies is how her people survive—in Jemma’s world, life ends at age seventeen.
Survival has eclipsed love ever since
the Parents died of a mysterious plague. But Jemma’s connection to a boy named
Apple is stronger than her duty as a Mama. Forced to leave, Jemma and Apple are
joined in exile by a mysterious boy who claims to know what is causing them to
die. The world is crumbling around them, and their time is running out. Is this
truly the End?
Exclusive Content!
The People of Ell Aye
Mayfly is set in the land of Ell Aye, a once-mighty city now
in ruins. The old divisions of the past are gone, and in their place new
peoples have emerged, each with their own origins and unique cultures.
The Angelenos
The dominant people of Ell Aye, they are a largely peaceful
female-led society who live primarily in the hills. They are made of four
interrelated peoples:
The Holy Wood
The oldest Angeleno settlement, on the shores of the Lake of
the Holy Wood and the old Holy Wood sign.
The Malibu
The farthest west of the Angelenos, who live in the
mountains next to the ocean of Malibu.
The Downtown
The Downtown guard the former towers of Ell Aye as sacred
ground and live in a giant stadium in a ravine.
The San Fernandos
The San Fernandos live in the great valley north of the Holy
Wood and frequently compete with the Holy Wood for scarce resources.
The Last Lifers
A feral band of Children who’ve gone mad in anticipation of
their early deaths; they live throughout Ell Aye in violence and chaos because
they fear no consequences.
The Palos (The Biters)
A cannibal society from the smoking Palos Verdes peninsula,
they are Ell Aye’s most feared enemy. They are intelligent, vicious, and well
armed.
The Ice Cream Men
A wandering tribe of traders who travel on three-wheeled ice
cream carts, the Ice Cream Men know all the peoples in Ell Aye.
The Kingdom
A mighty civilization built by former gang members, the
Kingdom occupies a huge castle fortress in Orange County, the OC.
