An infection threatens the world of Iolonyr. Infected citizens, like zombies, try to take control of the planet while the president has a lax attitude on this matter. This is Anna's story, who doesn't just sit back and await her destiny. She's very curious and intelligent. Accompanied by a variety of characters she joins the adventure in search of devotion. She fights the war against the infected ones, called the flood. Anna faces a lot of enemies during her travel. Some of the enemies might even be amongst her companions. This sounds a bit vague, but read the book and you'll get it. (Trees can talk. The future depends on fire and stars. Everything is an adventure.)
