Then Erik learned he was Blooded: descended from the Gods.Struggling with a power he doesnt understand and can barely control, Erik discovers that a secret government agency is selling off Blooded like lab rats to a rival branch of preternatural beings in ZebubSan Franciscos mirror city in an alternate dimension.Lil, a timid apprentice in Zebub, is searching for answers to her parents sudden and mysterious deaths. Surrounded by those who wish her harm and view her as a lesser being, Lil delves into a forgotten history that those in power will go to dangerous lengths to keep buried.What neither Erik nor Lil realize is that a darkness is coming, something none have faced in living memory. It eats. It hunts. And it knows them.
