The sequel to HUMAN SPINES, a 2016 Wattys winner! It's been seven months since the Opaque struck the desert and ravaged the Demon's caverns. Seven months since the Reaper-Mother gave up. Seven month since Dumaine last spoke to Emmeline. Seven months since Hans died. Huddled in a house perched on the crest of a mountain so remote only Demon's come to visit, Dumaine has come to learn a simple lifestyle. Expect nothing (except the daily drop ins from rampaging gangs of bloodthirsty Translucent), and accept everything (especially the learning opportunities provided by the aforementioned Translucent's resulting corpses). But while time seems to have frozen for Dumaine as he waits for Emmeline, it lurks forward beyond their snowy alps, creeping toward the shadow of the Opaque's threats until one evening they find five human strangers hidden in their home. And one of them is dead.
