Thomas E. Sniegoski has entranced audiences with his exploration of the Batman universe, thrilled fans with his Buffy the Vampire Slayer comics, and uncovered the paranormal with his Hellboy spin-off series, B.R.P.D. Now, he introduces readers to a mesmerizing dark world filled with monsters, where humanity's only hope lies in the bravery of one woman. When the Throng came, the human race never stood a chance. The monsters were simply too strong, too numerous. It only took a few months for them to take over and leave the few poor souls who survived cowering in terror for years to come. But even the monsters fear something: the dark goddess known as the Raven's Child. Legend says that she alone is destined to destroy the Throng and free those under their cruel power. And whoever wields her name and image could become the bane of the Throng and an inspiration to humankind even if she were only a young woman, like Carissa Devin, who has vowed to reclaim the world for the human race, no matter what the cost.
When the Throng descended, humanity was all but annihilated, leaving scattered survivors in a world ruled by monsters. Carissa Devin, a young woman who carries the legend of the Raven's Child, vows to reclaim the world for humankind. She faces the overwhelming might of the Throng, creatures feared even by other monsters, and must contend with the immense pressure of being humanity's last hope.
The premise sets up a classic dark fantasy narrative where a chosen one rises against overwhelming odds. The focus on monsters and a post-apocalyptic world suggests a grim and action-oriented story. Readers can expect a tale of survival and rebellion against monstrous forces, with a central character burdened by prophecy. The author's previous work in established dark and paranormal universes indicates a potential for intricate world-building and compelling character arcs within this new dark world.
