Suicide is the social norm, and Dallan Cen is dangerous for wanting to keep himself alive. Already on probation for interfering with his brother's suicide, he's worked hard to stay out of trouble ever since, but when history starts to repeat itself and yet another death looms over his head, fear drives Dallan into the heart of a Suicide Party where the city's masses gather for their final goodbyes. There, he uncovers a horrifying truth: when the dust settles, scavengers appear to reap the bodies.
And they do not tolerate survivors.
Forced on the run and with few allies, Dallan must entrust his life in the hands of his brother's final message which may just hold the key to his survival. As answers unfold and tragedy transforms into conspiracy, Dallan's convictions will be put to the test, and the cost may be higher than he's willing to pay.
