Variance Oddity #2:

Manila was never supposed to freeze.

* * *

In a world where the Philippines has been transformed into a frozen wasteland, survivors have abandoned their homes and built underground bunkers to escape the creatures that emerge after sunset. For years, daylight has been their only protection.

Then the impossible happens.

Scientists issue a terrifying forecast: the Philippines is about to experience thirty consecutive days of complete darkness.

With temperatures dropping, supplies running out, and the streets crawling with vampiric creatures, Elias Reyes and a group of survivors must prepare for a month without sunlight. But during one desperate night outside the bunker, Elias is bitten by one of the creatures-and instead of changing, something stranger happens.

He begins hearing them.

As Elias discovers a connection between himself and the creatures hunting humanity, he realizes the coming darkness may be more than a natural disaster.

If the sun disappears for thirty days, what will be waiting for them when the darkness finally begins?
