Centuries after the Mist fell, mutants rule the land. The last of humanity survives aboard a colossal ark, the Beacon.
Kyle, a corpse collector from the lowest deck, is staked in the nobles’ deadly wager game and left for dead. Then his long-blind right eye awakens, and he can see through the Mist, and the fear inside people.
Drafted into the Homebound Legion as cannon fodder, he learns the ark is hiding secrets, and the end of the world may not be what anyone was told.
