High energy particles chainsaw human DNA into a cellular scrap heap, but some girls carry a mutation allowing prolonged exposure to radiation. Some girls like Mayfly. They are called Glow Girls.

Mayfly is an orphan in a world devastated by nuclear war. Hunted as a heretic by a madman who calls himself the Red Pope, her only hope, her only salvation lies in her past and the truth about her mother. . . a truth only a machine god hidden away in a mythical refuge called the Citadel can answer; a journey that will take her across a wasteland of murderers and monsters.

Then, a three hundred year old man in a NASA spacesuit known only as the Astronaut offers her a chance to solve the riddle of her past. The key to the Citadel lies, beneath a burning slab of earth called the black glass, and only a glow girl of exceptional talent like Mayfly can make the journey. But, they are not the only ones seeking the dark secrets hidden away within that ancient bunker, and it’s a race against the clock on who will control the fate of the Earth.

Glow Girls is a story of rebellion and resilience as our heroine risks everything to challenge a brutal world that would sooner see her burn than free.
