Nine years ago the Dead appeared without warning, and civilization ended. Darrell Williams, a black doctor in a rural white town, is one of the few survivors in a countryside of roving monsters and encroaching wilderness. When his house is stormed by his undead neighbors, he escapes with his four-year-old daughter, Lela, to find asylum with refugees in an abandoned electronics factory.
Yet something about the post-civilization world is changing. The uneasy equilibrium between the survivors and their supernatural tormentors is lost. The Dead are becoming erratic and aggressive, and seem to have a particular interest in Darrell’s family. Lela, young as she is, discovers clues to the twisted logic that drives them -- but then she disappears. Darrell is left to search for his daughter and answers with only the help of strangers in a hostile, ruined world.

Sean Sunderland, fresh out of college, is employed in the Otherworld as a guardian magus for a small company. When his cell phone buzzes late one night, warning him that the magical equipment he maintains is malfunctioning, it does not occur to him that the malfunction might be part of a larger danger. After all, though the Otherworld is an alternate reality where magic is possible, everyone believes it is manmade, and thus relatively safe.
The truth is that the Otherworld is only a tiny part of a much larger world known as Ivoria -- and it isn’t manmade at all. The demons who rule Ivoria are constantly looking for humans with untapped magical potential. The poor souls they find are turned into demons who will serve the demon lord -- or die. Sean goes into work to fix his equipment that night, unaware that he is the latest target.
