Silence won't protect you. The past won't let you go. Death is only the beginning. Evelyn Miller, a talented surgeon, lost everything during a little boy's surgery. Her career, her peace of mind, and herself. In the suburbs of Seattle, struggling with post-traumatic stress, she tries to survive the gray routine of everyday life until the world turns upside down. When TV broadcasts cut out and her neighbor stumbles lifelessly into her home, Evelyn soon realizes that the rules of the old world no longer apply. With her younger brother, Liam, by her side, she is forced to flee the burning city. In this new era, however, the danger comes not only from the infected, but from anyone willing to sacrifice their humanity for survival. Aim for their heads! Trust no one! Stay human! Amid the devastation, Evelyn uncovers a secret, forcing her to don her white coat once more, for her knowledge remains humanity's only hope for a cure. The race against time and the hordes begins, and the stakes are no longer just survival, but saving the world.

The world had gone to hell long ago, taken over by the vampire race. In order to keep some sort of peace in our land, the Vampire Lords made a consecutive agreement. The rich and powerful humans could survive just as they had been, untouched by the vampires save for the occasional blood collections, or so they thought In reality, we were all under their control. Castles spread out throughout our land, one landing in each city. Each castle varied in the number of vampires residing there, but all of them carried a Lord. The Lords were the ones in charge in every city, whether we liked it or not. The vampires often roam through the city, making sure that everyone was in order and no one stepped out of line. If you stepped out of line, you died, end of story. Even if the rich were still under their control, their lives were still better than the poor. The poorest lives held a much worse fate. The men were to be put to work as slaves, whether that meant serving a specific vampire, or just building their castles, they were slaves. The women were to be pets. Pets were the lowest rank you could have. They were forced into cages that were too small to stand in with collars around their necks. They spent their lives in pet shops, just waiting for the dreadful day that they'll be bought. They were treated like animals, trained into what their master wanted, and punished if they misbehaved. Those who were lucky enough to live through that, we're to be slaughtered for their blood at age twenty-five in an act to make sure that our population would stay steady. I was born into this world. Born into this world full of blood-sucking monsters. Except, I was one of the lucky ones. Was. It all ended for me when I was 12, when I was taken away from the last bit of hope and family that I had left. Ever since then, I've lived in a cage, just rotting away, waiting, dreading for the day that some monster would make me his. This is my life. I am a pet. ~~~ Cover by: @mshacake
