In a world where monsters roam just outside the gates yet the wealthy, the Elites, sleep high upon the hill, safe and sound. Four young hunters finally return home, to nothing but destruction and despair. Fields that once held vibrant crops, are now sculptures of ash and dirt. Bustling markets are now empty stalls, collectors of cobwebs and dust. But one thing you wouldn't expect; was the smell. The corpses that littered the town, at least what was left of them. Piles of flesh and bone decorated the street, charred bodies of once smiling faces remained unidentifiable. Sol walked the streets, bloodied hands shaking with sadness? Anger? No, something greater. Something that crawls through your bones and scrapes against your skull. This feeling wraps around your soul. She can feel herself fading...is she even alive? Really? Or is she a walking shell of the fury of who she lost. The Elites won't sleep so soundly tonight when the River Styx is flowing so greatly, and the rower is at their door.

Monsters don't exist but humans do. Humans have a talent for destroying anything beautiful about to bloom. When the last human on Earth died, she died like a hero going home. In a world without a future, each passing moment is the end of the world. It is the year 2136, seven years from the supposed extinction of the human race. Along with Axel, a group of teenage boys wake up in a train with no memory of who they are or where they are going. They make up the remainder of the human population. They soon discover they are much further away from home then they thought. When they look outside, they realise the sky is black tinged with blood, the buildings are made of flesh and plumes of smoke escape from the cracks of the scorched grounds. Time does not exist here. Even the sun and moon has abandoned them. They quickly discover they are not alone leading Axel to believe he isn't the good guy after all. Truth to be told, he doesn't even think he's human. When Axel discovers something far worse then he could ever imagine, he knows no matter how much he wants it some stories won't have a happy ending. In fact, this might be the final ending for humans.
