The zombie apocalypse meets Left Behind.
Rejected by God, the survivors of the reckoning must fight to keep the Earth.
This semi-heretical take on the reckoning follows the "survivors" of the reaping as they deal with the trauma of being God's benchwarmers. When the desiccated corpses of the chosen ones reanimate, the end of days starts to look more like a true apocalypse. To rid themselves of this dangerous and nuisance plague, the powers that be, (a.k.a. the a-holes God didn't want) decide to take a note from history and use these demon-ridden corpses for entertainment.
While a darkness is growing in the east, something has awakened to the west. The Earth has been taken for granted and there is a growing list of enemies ready to take it from the depleted human population that foolishly calls it home.With promises sure to be broken, Lenore struggles to find the strength inside of her to lead the team she formerly followed. To become the hero everyone expects her to be, she must uncover a part of herself that has long since been hidden.As Lenore buries one friend, another comes back from the dead. Priest, sober and far more receptive to a purpose beyond holy servitude, joins their group to help fight the growing threat in Nebraska's mecca metropolis.
With Garrett also in for the long haul, Lenore falls back into bed with her former lover and abuser, much to everyone's confusion and disapproval. Although Lenore finally admits Priest is the man she wants, he is committed to denying her his love.
As the group struggles to find balance and cohesion, Lenore continues to resist any leadership, despite her promise to August. She is still far from convinced she will play a significant role in the coming battle. Priest, on the other hand, discovers a new myriad of powers that may be integral to fighting the grim.
Though everyone is eager to get revenge on Adrian Dorn, Lenore is certain he is more dangerous than he appears and she wants to learn more about him before they reveal themselves as a threat. What she discovers, however, reveals more about her role in the apocalypse than his.
