Flies swarm, the dead hammer against the fence, and every month, a child is offered to the horrors beyond the gate. Mara Hale stands with her daughters, Willow and Wren, in a silent plaza where survival means obedience and any sign of emotion is a death sentence. The Crown’s brutal order demands a sacrifice, and today, a boy is dragged to the feeding gate, his screams echoing the terror of a world where humanity is a commodity. But as the dead feast, a chilling stillness settles over one particular corpse, its single eye fixed not on the blood, but on Wren. What dark connection binds the living to the ravenous dead, and what secret does Wren hold that could shatter the fragile foundation of their blood-soaked world?
