This first installment of the Dwellers of the Night trilogy begins with a global pandemic of an unkwn disease, and it follows one man's struggle to survive. Covering the first six months of the plague's rampage, this is a story about tragedy, hopelessness, and despair in a world thrown askew. The city of Cincinnati serves as the back-drop for a world where 99% of earth's population has been reduced to fragmented shells of their former selves. Those infected by the disease only come out at night, and they thirst for the blood of the living. This book explores the nature of the Dark-Walkers and The Man's fight to survive in a brave new world.
