Surviving is all I've ever known.

Abandoned young, I was left to fend for myself in a place ruled by fear and control. Silver runs everything—rations, medicine, currency—and those like me, carriers of the infection, are treated less than human. Everyone I love is gone. All that's left is my sister, but she vanished into Zone T years ago, and I won't stop until I find her, even if it means stepping onto his boat. An eye for an eye. They call him the Ferryman. A monster with a bird of prey, tasked with bringing criminals across the river. Those who board his vessel never return. But he's not what I expected. There are secrets behind his quiet stare and a history soaked in blood. His gentle touch draws me in deeper than I meant to go. The closer I get to the truth, the more he unravels parts of me I thought were long dead. The Ferryman wants to claim my soul, but I don't know if I could ever be his. All I am is... rotten.
