About this series
An ancient parasite thaws from the permafrost, infecting its human hosts, and reducing them to mindless husks, attacking any living creature to create new parasitic hosts.
The remnants of humanity flee to the coldest regions of the Earth, where they build walls to protect themselves from the wandering infected—the husks.
Armed with her father's shamanic drum, Bree settles in Tomsk, the largest city in Siberia, where she uses the beats of the drum to draw these husks to her; the steady beats mirroring the heartbeats of their hosts.
Arrested by the city's patrol guards, she and her neighbour, Tyler, who is working on a cure, must convince the council that his serum can neutralise the parasites, eradicating the threat on humanity.
But the council aren't ready to listen.
Dystopian horror from Gabby Gilliam.

2
After her exile from Tomsk, Bree is joined by Tyler and Carly on the road out of the city. Together, the children travel toward Moscow, hoping to find someone who will listen to them about the newfound cure. Tyler's cure is only partially effective. It will kill husks, but he isn't sure if it can cure someone infected with the parasites before they become a husk. Moscow's leader, Aleksandr, doesn't want to wait to find out. He injects Carly with parasites to motivate Tyler into creating a viable cure. With Moscow's fully-stocked lab at his disposal, Tyler experiments all day with potential cures. Bree nurses Carly as best as she can, but Carly's symptoms continue to worsen. Every day it's clearer that Tyler and Carly are both running out of time. Dystopian horror from Gabby Gilliam.
