One hundred years after the Reclamation began, only scavengers leave the high stone walls of the colonies to comb the dead infested ruins left from the Collapse. Fueled by a growing demand for rare and forgotten toys and trinkets, nimble and cunning Persephone – and her partners, Chris and Ajax – find sport and profit in the wreckage of the Old World, until unseen troubles begin threatening the only way of life they know.
Science fiction author JR Berlakovich presents, in his debut novel, a dystopian tale of avarice, isolation, and feudalism a century and a half after the fall of civilization, where the dead endure while the living decay.
