In the beginning there had been light, there had been hope. Now there was no such thing since the Sanguis Vita Est conquered Bonshwei...The war ravaged land now has nothing left. The cities, the country, the world lies in ruins and I'm here to tell you how it became this way.  My name is Alexander Maricella and I'm still alive in this world. I've seen it all through good and bad but I never knew that I would be the reason why. I may have brought the ending to this world but it's time for me to save it.

When two brothers' sanctuary collapses around them, they are plunged into the dark world outside to fight for survival. It has been a year since the world ended, and six-year-old Cecil does not remember much of the world before. However, memories of what used to be continuously plague Nicholas, his twelve-year-old brother. He finds that the means and reasons to continue are hard to find, and that while the Beasts are dangerous, the people of their strange new world may be a much bigger threat.

Seventeen-year-old Avery Peters suffers from a serious mental illness, with her family as her only supporters. Then the world as she knows it falls down around her and takes her family with it. Avery soon finds that other survivors see her as a set back, and are quick to abandon her. So when she runs into Finn, a seemingly harmless teenage boy, she doesn't expect him to stay long- especially as her condition worsens and she refuses to take her dwindling supply of medication. Will Finn and Avery help each other survive, or will Finn back out when the going gets tougher, just like everyone else?
