Their new world hums with life, but Dylan and his niece Aurellia are more alone than ever before. When the Affliction struck, it claimed the lives of their family. Now, they only have each other. Aurellia is Dylan's only priority. She is all that remains of his old world, all that matters anymore. She deserves better than living under the constant threat of death, and Dylan has made it his final goal to assure her safety. Food has become scarce and jeopardizes their survival, but beyond their temporary shelters lurks the real danger: the Afflicted-murderous creatures roaming the land as if they were lost. Now, two years after the Affliction, those creatures are undergoing a rapid evolution. Everything that had been learned is void and the dangers are, once again, unknown. Dylan and Aurellia must put their faith in fellow survivors if they want to live, but not everyone can be trusted. There are those that have their own agenda, even in the last days of humanity. Dylan is faced with the ultimate test and a defining decision. Will he make the right choices for Aurellia's sake?
