*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.*

Attempting to cover as much of her body as possible, he spread his hands across her back and arched his shoulders up and around her. He dipped his chin into her shoulder, inhaled all of her scent, and then peered up along her brown arms. Many shallow bites and cuts lingered across her skin. He caressed the rough scabs with his fingers and pulled back to look at her dry lips and the dark shadow across her eyes. “You can’t drink from yourself,” he said. “It doesn’t work like you think it would.” 


 She pulled her head forward, reaching to be deeper in his embrace. “I have nothing else,” she claimed. “They’re starving me.”
