In a world ravaged by the Hades Virus, Tatum Rivers awakens in a sterile laboratory, imprisoned in a glass box. She's been kidnapped by Troy Memphis, who's harvesting antibodies from her immune blood to create a vaccine while the pandemic decimates the population. Despite constant exposure leaving her weak, Tatum shows remarkable resilience, secretly hiding half her sedatives under her mattress to maintain clarity. In moments of consciousness, she pictures her four "Night Keepers" searching for her-Saint, Kyan, Blake, and Monroe-once her enemies at Everlake Preparatory School, now her protectors, lovers, and family. The isolation triggers memories of her father's warnings to "prepare for every outcome" because "life will be bad sometimes." These lessons sustain her as she endures captivity, taunting her captors even as they sedate her: "You're coming to hell with me."
