Bloody Twilight, a kingdom already on the brink of collapse finds itself under siege by its own dead soldiers brought back to raging life. The mastermind: the magician Grolev, who holds captive the last surviving member of the royal family - The Orphan. Her only hope for rescue lay with Bloody Twilight's castoffs: pixie leader Quinn Kind; Captain Victor Mene, lone army survivor; Welles, a magician with a vested interest in the kingdom's dark past; and Nathan Cord, former military golden boy, The Orphan's favorite uncle...and the king's killer. As the choice to save Bloody Twilight or put it out of its misery becomes more complicated, these misfits soon learn their toughest threat isn't the hordes of murder-minded dead - it's themselves.
