Dr. Phoenix's new race of humans are here and ready to replace the old humanity, first among them: the Smiths, any Ashtown faithful, and a band of mad Irish monks. And Radu Bey, a powerful transmortal, has gathered an army to open the Burials and free some of history’s most notorious villains.If Cyrus and Antigone Smith have any chance at saving the people they love, they must go back to the very day their lives were turned upside down.
