But when Exodus's world engine failed, the Wardens' power fell into the wrong hands, creating chaos and mass evacuation...for those who could afford it.

The damagers / by Benvie, Rob,1975-author.;
"On a summer evening in 1952, young sisters Zina and Presendia run hand-in-hand into the wooded hills of upstate New York, fleeing their family farmhouse as it collapses into flames. Deep in the Adirondack mountains, they en-counter a gritty band of "settlers" occupying a dilapidated sportsmen's complex nestled along a secluded mountain lake. The girls soon be-come inculcated in the spiritual training and rustic hedonism of the group, attracting the interest of its profane but visionary founder: a rough-necked charismatic named Peter. Selected by Peter from the ragged but devoted congregation for her erudition and steely temper, Zina is tasked with codifying his rev-olutionary teachings in a book -- a testament to rouse the masses, prophesying the rise of a new consciousness from the ashes of decadent mid-century American society. As ghosts from the sisters' violent past resurface, and the construction of a major highway ex-tension near the settlement accelerates Peter's anarchic agenda, Zina must choose between turning her back on her new life and adopted flock, or seizing the power she so desires and taking her place next to Peter in the great cata-clysm to come."--
