Acceptance is impossible: a state of being those left behind eventually stumble to through the haze of loss. For Hugh, it's something to be held at arm's-length. He can't let go of his lost husband nor his stranded daughter. So, he cycles through the first four stages of grief over and over while killing in the name of a despicable man. The apathy keeps him alive.
Everyone suffers. Why should his next targets, an unlucky brother and sister, be any different? Because there is something stirring in the fathoms of Hugh's sorrow. Waking dreams of hope and illusions of peace in a drought-ridden dystopia. But how much blood must be spilled before he can reach them? Or will the man holding his loyalty captive snuff them and him out for good?
Readers will follow one of The Deadland's beloved characters on a desperate ascent for solace in a world where no one cares for the forgotten.
