Blood and Bone by Madeline Sheehan and Claire C. Riley

It is the end of the world.
They call him Eagle, like
the grand and beautiful bird that symbolizes freedom. During these
dark times, when humanity is experiencing nothing but suffering, a
man with such a powerful name should be a beacon of hope, yet he is
anything but.
Her name is Autumn, but
she hasn’t said this name or much of anything else in the four
years since the fall of civilization. A shell of her former self,
living wild in a cave at the bottom of a ravine, Autumn is accustomed
to being alone. She prefers it, actually, especially when her only
options for company either try to kill her, or worse, to lock her up
inside their walls.
Captured by Eagle’s
people, Autumn is suddenly thrust back into the land of the living,
but she would hardly call it living. The community of Purgatory is
full of sinners, the most evil of whom seem to have set their sights
on her.
In an act born of anger
and defiance, Eagle becomes Autumn’s unexpected savior, forcing
these two solitary people into each other’s broken worlds. Neither
knows quite what to make of the other, but one thing is certain.
To survive Purgatory, they
must learn how to rely on each other, a feat that could possibly
teach them both how to live again.

"My
wet reflection glared back at me—dark brown, nearly black eyes
rimmed in red and encased in shadowed, hollowed circles sitting high
on an angry, angular face that was framed in a heavy beard almost as
black as my hair.
I
was a fearful fucking sight. The people here were right to be afraid
of me. The things I was capable of, the things I’d done . . . There
were times I even feared myself."
