In Earth's brutal, future frozen, humans are no longer at the top of food chain. Paranormals roam the frozen wastes, laying claim to whatever they can defend. Humans are tolerated by some, but not all of the new species.

But in the end, leaving may be the only thing that will save the forever Luna feels in Xander's arms. Page Count: 32
