âI open my eyes to darkness. Total darkness. I hear my own breathing, but nothing else. I lift my head . . . it thumps against something solid and unmoving. There is a board right in front of my face. No, not a board . . . a lid.â
A teenage girl awakens to find herself trapped in a coffin. She has no idea who she is, where she is, or how she got there. Fighting her way free brings little reliefâshe discovers only a room lined with caskets and a handful of equally mystified survivors. Beyond their room lies a corridor filled with bones and dust, but no people . . . and no answers.
She knows only one thing about herselfâher name, M. Savage, which was engraved on the foot of her coffinâyet she finds herself in charge. She is not the biggest among them, or the boldest, but for some reason the others trust her. Now, if theyâre to have any chance, she must get them to trust one another.
Whatever the truth is, she is determined to find it and confront it. If she has to lead, she will make sure they survive. Maybe thereâs a way out, a rational explanation, and a fighting chance against the dangers to come. Or maybe a reality they cannot comprehend lies just beyond the next turn.

âSuspenseful . . . [Alive] lives up to its hype, packing plenty of thrills.ââEntertainment Weekly
âFascinating and intriguing . . . a cross between Lord of the Flies and The Maze Runner and yet . . . so much more.ââFresh Fiction
âA ripping, claustrophobic thunderbolt of a novel, Scott Siglerâs Alive gives us an unforgettable young hero who must find the inner strength to lead without knowing where she is, who she is, and how bitterly the odds are stacked against her.ââPierce Brown, New York Times bestselling author of Red Rising
âSigler has created a wonderful and engrossing character in M. Savage. Strong and smart, but with the naĂŻvetĂŠ and misgivings of any teenage girl, sheâs someone youâll definitely want on your side when s*** hits the fan, which it most certainly does.ââVeronica Belmont, host of Sword & Laser
âA tense, unsettling page-turner of a storyâboth deeply strange and wildly compelling.ââCherie Priest, author of Boneshaker and Maplecroft
