The Aftertime series begins with Cass Dollar waking up in a field with strange scars and no memory, in a California destroyed by a biological weapon. The Beaters — people transformed into violent, mindless cannibals — roam the landscape, and Cass has to find her young daughter Ruthie, who was taken to a survivor settlement.
The four books follow Cass through increasingly desperate circumstances as she navigates settlements, power struggles between survivors, and the constant threat of the Beaters. Littlefield uses the post-apocalyptic setting to explore addiction, motherhood, and what people will do when civilization’s rules no longer apply.
