Sarah Davis-Goff

Last Ones Left Alive follows Orpen, a young girl raised by her mother and Maeve on Slanbeg, an island off the west coast of Ireland. As Ireland is devoured by a ravening menace known as the skrake, her childhood ends and training begins. When Maeve is bitten, Orpen is faced with a dilemma: kill Maeve before her transformation is complete or try to get help. So Orpen sets off, with Maeve in a wheelbarrow and her dog at her side, in the hope of finding other survivors, and a cure.
