The first weeks of a “local apocalypse” have passed. Hell has spread everywhere, and Gorgon venom has seeped into the veins. Once upon a time, Stefanie knew there was no life after death—but death changed its face and crawled into souls.
Together with the “Gorgon” group, the girl has to face what remains of the State—and the regime of the Three it unintentionally created. The living are still angrier and more ferocious than the cadaver monsters, and each hero passes their own test of ideals.
Staring toward the Heavens, Christopher wants an answer to the question: what to do when the world is burning down? Feasting during the plague. Loving during cholera. Dancing on bones. Living in defiance of death.
