It is the eve of the Great Depression. The Tremblay twins arrive in New York for a holiday, but instead of seaside fun on Coney Island, they learn one of them is destined to marry the Angel of Death ... or his mortal representative.

The Graces are a lineage of cursed men who commit murder to sustain the good fortune of their family, but the last two men of the bloodline will do anything to break the cruel spell, even if they hurt loved ones to succeed. When a pair of girls with a prophecy of salvation cross their paths more than once, they form an alliance to destroy the witch who torments both families.

Welcome to the future, written in the past. A mutant plague has rendered part of the population as zombie-like humanoids. They have a conscious mind though, but their craving for brains is a bit of an antisocial issue. Being mostly made up of impoverished individuals, it is not surprised that they got cured cheaply and lastly, despite being the main test subjects. Lochlyn is their representative. She just wanted an education beyond elementary school. A little luckier stricken part of the infected population evolved into reverents. Reverants have a feudal system over the zombies to "keep them in order". The luck may have had to do with them being upper-class when being treated. Basilica is their representative. At eighteen, she wanted body modifications, a job, and etc... as a rite of passage entering adulthood. At least that's what she was thinking. The more she was told no, the more she wondered what she could do. There are still uninfected humans left in the U.S.A. Most of them are middle-class. Katrina is their representative. She gained a family member, but lost two. She aches to find out why she can never return home again. The three eighteen-year-old females, along with their beaus, journey for truth, equality, justice, restoration, love, and freedom lead them to the same end: the capital.

-A MAFIA ROMAMCE- -3rd in the DAYDREAM AWARDS! - ~•~ "Elijah!" my sister ran back into the café as I finished paying for our order we had, worry was written across her whole face, I was clueless to why she looked so petrified. "Olivia? What's wrong?" I asked and held her close, she grabbed my hand and ran me out of the café until we were near an alleyway, even during the day the narrow lane was pitch-black. We reached the end of the alleyway and we were witnesses to something awful... Something horrendous... Olivia screamed loudly with her voice box as her body shook in anger, her hand rattled as it was holding mine. She was stunned and unable to move from the spot. I looked over at the individual who was dressed in pure black and had a mask covering their entire face... Except their blue orbs that were revealing themselves. ~•~ As soon as he reaches the alleyway, their lives turned upside down. For the better or for worse?
