Celvian was born into House Solmar of the Sun Clan, destined for divine glory. Instead, the Moon Goddess marked him - a blessing that became a curse in a world where her power is considered worthless. Stripped of everything he once was, Cel must survive in a world threatened by rift-creatures, where only Chosen Ones blessed by Gods stand between humanity and extinction. The Moon Goddess chose him for reasons beyond understanding. Whether that choice will forge him into a savior or twist him into something far more dangerous depends on how much of himself he is willing to give up.

The world didn't end with a bang of nuclear fire; it ended with a wet, ravenous moan. In the flooded, rain-soaked ruins of Pasig City, humanity is trapped between two nightmares. There are the "Afflicted"-mindless, flesh-eating hordes of the undead-and the "Kin"-ancient, intelligent vampires who have stepped out of the shadows to claim the wasteland. Elias "Cypher" Vance is a ghost of a man. Betrayed and abandoned by his own special ops unit after a deadly bite, he only survives thanks to the weaponized military nanites in his cybernetic arm. Now, he wanders the apocalypse as a cynical, hardened scavenger who trusts no one. His solitary death march is interrupted when he discovers a caged lab rescue named Trixie. Trixie isn't just a thirty-pound beagle; she possesses powerful telepathic abilities and carries the only known immunity to the plague. Bound together by shared trauma and a psionic link, the brooding cyborg and his innocent hound must navigate a brutal world. Hunted by the infected, ruthless human scavengers, and an ancient vampire who wants Trixie's blood, they embark on a desperate journey to a legendary safe zone called Havenwood. He has the armor. She is the radar. Together, they are the only hope left in a dead world. But in a landscape where every shadow hides a monster, will Elias's titanium fist and Trixie's psychic warnings be enough to survive the immune dawn?
