Fate doesn't always play fair-but it does put you exactly where you need to be.
I shouldn't be alive. Mikey didn't mean to bring me to the brink of death, but I was determined to pull her back from the edge of Mindlessness, no matter the cost. It's thanks to Ein, Maverick, and Aurora, I'm still here-barely.
Just when I think things can't possibly get worse, an ancient secret society steps out of the shadows with a twisted proposition. They want me-the Bleeder King-to help create a world without humans. Their first target? Zombie Island, where my parents and the Bleeders who rejected the "cure" now live. If they think I'll fall in line, they're in for a rude awakening.
Once upon a time, I thought fate played a cruel trick on me. Mikey and I were put through the ringer, and we came out broken, but stronger than before. I'm not some helpless pawn of fate; everything I've survived, everything I've learned, has led me here-and it'll keep me alive. The second apocalypse is coming, with or without my help-and I'll make sure it's not my world that burns.
