The Fire We Inherit

Every adult in Las Vegas is dead.
Now the kids run the city.
After being exposed to a mysterious sickness, the adults knew their days were numbered. Instead of losing hope, the city banded together to prepare the only ones who were immune—The Kids.
So, The Preparation was formed. A plan to keep the city alive and well. Farms and ranches. Power and water. Businesses and emergency services. Each kid received specific training in their career field to ensure they not only survived, but thrived.
Three years after the last adult died, 14-year-old Aiden Brann begins his first day as a firefighter in a city run entirely by kids. Aiden joins a tight-knit fire crew in The After and begins risking his life to protect the city and those he loves. But he quickly learns the hidden cost of being a hero is far more than physical.
On top of it all, a small group of kids known only as The Children are beginning to threaten the peace and prosperity that the rest of the kids have worked so hard to create. Their ruthless leader, KID, is plotting to tear down everything Aiden has come to love, including his newfound family.
Navigating fires, unexpected losses, friendships, family, and responsibility beyond their years, Aiden, his crew, and family must decide what it truly means to inherit a world.
The Fire We Inherit is a gripping and emotional adventure about courage, sacrifice, friendship, and the strength within young people that is found when the weight of the world rests on their shoulders.
