2408. Earth is left in ruins as civilisation spreads to the stars using portal technology. Blaze Donnelly, survivor of the firestorm that destroyed London, is the daughter of former rebel leader Sean Donnelly, now the leader of an Alliance of rebels and criminals left behind in abandoned New York. It's a dangerous life, even more so now she's turning eighteen.
But then things turn even more complicated. Tad, leader of a mysterious expedition into the ruins of New York, runs into trouble and turns to the Alliance for help. Tad's presence heralds trouble throughout the Worlds of Humanity, but Blaze and her people have more immediate problems. New York is going to burn...

2408. Humanity has travelled to the stars through interstellar portals, but the rebels and criminals were left behind on a ruined Earth. Eighteen-year-old Blaze is one of the last seven hundred people scavenging a living in an increasingly lethal New York. Her mother died six years ago. Her brother turned traitor. She believes her father is Donnell, the leader of the uneasy alliance between the remnants of the Earth Resistance and the old criminal gangs. She’s not sure what Donnell believes because he’s barely spoken to her since her brother betrayed him.
Blaze has survived this long by being too unimportant to kill, but now the alliance is on the brink of starvation, and an old enemy is trying to seize power. When an aircraft carrying three privileged off-worlders crashes in New York, it adds more fuel to an already explosive situation, and Blaze is forced to step into the spotlight. Can the traitor’s sister convince Donnell, the warring divisions, and the off-worlders to work together to leave the death trap of New York? Blaze thinks that failure will mean the death of everyone she knows, but then she discovers the off-worlders’ secret. The stakes are far higher than just seven hundred lives.

Donnell chose Aaron, Julian and Luther as officers because of who their fathers were, only to find that none of them are Deputy material: Julian's an alcoholic with anger issues, Aaron is competent but would rather back up a leader than be one, and Luther is a SpoiledBrat, [[spoiler:although he and Julian both get better in the sequel]]. Machico comments that Donnell should know better than this after his own son betrayed the Resistance.

Blaze instead offers to become Rebecca's guardian, having resolved to adopt her earlier when she thought Aaron was dead.

* {{Troll}}: Marsha, the Alliance's equipment keeper who's responsible for maintaining weapons and ensuring they're all handed in on entry. She also issues individual knife belts painted with signs identifying their owner, which can be quite insulting and unpleasant; Tad's is a [[MotorMouth mouth]], while Blaze's shows the fire that destroyed London. Blaze hates hers, but notes that complaining about it cane result in something worse. Cage's sign shows the scars he got from Blaze biting him in self-defence as a child, and when he kills Marsha it's implied to be out of revenge rather than because he needed to.

** Another lecture by Playdon in ''Literature/EarthPrime'' confirms that the United Earth Americas Complex - where the Alliance lives - will be completely destroyed in the fire. The class see images of it, though, describing the place as "a classically elegant building with lawns sweeping down to the river." That's... not what it looks like as of ''Scavenger Alliance''.
