In the tradition of Neil Gaiman’s bestselling novel American Gods, comes a gripping debut novel of mankind’s race to self-destruction. 

For Irene Cunningham, a 20th century woman struggling to make ends meet, the job at the Santa Monica DA’s office was the final chance to prove things to herself and her family as well. For her twin sister Melissa, it meant that Irene’s eventual success would bring a halt to the constant family feuds and bickering.

To both twins, the tale of their families’ ancestral struggle was nothing more than a bedtime story they had heard a thousand times. But when a member of the Brethren attacks Irene both girls discover that they must trust ancient rituals which leave them questioning themselves, their spiritual beliefs, and understanding of their own existence.
