What if death wasn’t the end—but a privilege only the powerful could afford?
In the aftermath of the Resurrection Accord, humanity is split between the undead elite—engineered for immortality—and the fragile masses left to age, rot, and obey. The Council of the Undying rules with icy precision, their longevity maintained through biotech monopolies and brutal suppression of dissent. But revolution is a virus.
Celeste Beaumont, a former clinic technician turned insurgent, knows the truth behind resurrection: it is not salvation, but control. When a rogue scientist discovers a bio-weapon that could dismantle the undead caste, a fractured resistance must choose—wield the cure as a tool of justice, or a weapon of genocide.
As uprisings ignite and the Council fractures from within, unlikely alliances emerge. Leona Hastings, once the regime’s most ruthless enforcer, begins to question the cost of order. And Darius Montgomery, a war-scarred rebel leader, must decide whether survival demands mercy—or blood.
But the greatest threat may not be the enemy you see. It may be the cycle you can’t escape.
