*Due to physical disabilities, Iggy is isolated for his own protection. He only knows his two brothers, Baine and Nansen, and their world within a brick wall, called New Eden. In spite of his overbearing brothers, Iggy sneaks out of his room and goes into the garden during the day, where he comes in contact with a strange woman. Before he can say anything to her, he loses consciousness, and awakens to her biting his face. As his only caregivers, his brothers save him from the woman, but they cannot save him from himself. Soon after the attack, Iggy is overcome with depression and craves nothing more than to end his own life. But then, a survivor arrives, and changes everything for the worst and the better.*
*Baine infects Iggy with the virus. Iggy's body becomes perfect in all ways and he is granted unique powers (umbrakinesis). Things are going well, until Iggy sees the color red and his thirst reflex awakens. It is all a matter of time before Iggy's bloodlust leads the F.U.S military to New Eden, to destroy everything that Baine has created. Especially the infected ones.*

The logs in the fire pit were big and thick, and the smoke was pouring off of them in the midst of a full fire. Flames lapped at the sky and sent sparks up toward the stars. The smell of ash, smoke, and burning meat was strong in the air. Along the other edge of the house was a garden with a big apple tree and herbs that Becca used on summer and autumn days. Now, someone laid thrashing, kicking, and screaming there, strapped to the tree itself in layers and layers of duct tape. 


 Lying helplessly beat and bound, Aster spotted Iggy from the distance. Her screams morphed into sobs. “Robert! Let me out, Robert! Bobby boy! My friend. Please, help!”
