Two authors explore the world where people are actually dead, long ago genetically stripped of true humanity, in a terrifying medieval future where grim pageantry masks death and dark desires drive the story of a world teetering on the brink of annihilation and survival. The final surviving hope for humanity is at risk, and no one knows the path to survival.
