*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.*

His hand gestured toward a dark corner. “Sometimes she comes straight out of the darkness, and surprises the hell out of me.” 


 Pater coughed. “Don’t let him fool you. He’s sat alone in the dark thinking Halina was with him too many times to count.” 


 “It’s true!” Firmin admitted, throwing his hands up and looking up at the ceiling with full declaration. “And I’d do it all over again!” 


 Iggy pulled his head to the side like a child listening to a bedtime story as Firmin gushed with joy. “How did you find her in the first place?” he asked.
