Set in a frightening futuristic landscape, Lilith Shackleton tries desperately to ignore the fact that her parents have died from some never before seen disease, on the night when the black fog first began to spread. Scientists are desperately trying to figure out what the cause of the virulent gasses that come with the fog, desperately trying to avoid scaring the helpless civilians. Lilith finds herself in a strange new city surrounded by people that have a constant need to run and hide from the fog. But Lilith knows better. Just like her Greek ancestors, she can see the hidden messages in everything, even speak with the muses that seek to help her, but one is intent on having her destroyed... A girl who hears voices, and ancient muse, a noxious fog, a girl with a secret, and a dead king. What could go wrong? Monsters are real, ghosts are to, they live inside us, and sometimes they win. It is just like a nightmare, only, there is no waking up.
