It's known as the Cataclysm-an event responsible for arresting most
electronic technology. Its impact was global and few countermeasures
existed. Civilization was nearly brought to its knees. At least for a
while. We found ways of getting by. Humanity connected with its past
while auguring new solutions. Even for college students like Joanna
Westenra, a world without smartphones or the Internet was
survivable-albeit just barely. We were down but not out. Life could go
on. Then the Cataclysm unveiled something new. Monsters arose in the
night. They are known as the Turned. We try valiantly to ignore them, to
go on as if nothing else has changed. Yet we cannot deny that these
creatures were once human. They are solicited from both the living and
the dead. They hunt us and harbor no mercy. Joanna is hanging onto her
former life as best she can, but now she sees things only the Turned are
rumored to witness. The crimson clouds of the Cataclysm leer on as
Joanna embarks upon her destiny.
