The old world has ended, and the people who are left to survive forgot it long ago. In the absence of science, technology, and civilization, something old has become new again. An ancient power, older than creation, moves among the survivors of a deadly plague and seeks to remake the world into something that it believes will be better: a place where the struggle for power and survival will push humankind toward a greatness that the world has never seen. After spending their entire lives barely surviving in isolation from one another, Athen, Paul, Henry, Brenn, Ansela, and Crow each find a new kind of life thrust upon them. A figure that they only know as the Man in the Woods (or, at times, the Woman in the Woods) changes their lives in powerful and often traumatic ways. A few of them believe that they have become powerful--others that they have become monsters.Each of these people will try to escape the path that the Man in the Woods has set before them, but they'll discover that freedom doesn't mean making your own path--it means only what you DO on that path. As they move toward the destiny set before them, each will have to choose between darkness and light.Whatever their choices, each of these freaks will reshape the decayed world that they live in--for good or for evil.Enter the world of Animus.
