By Torey Rain

Antionette, the Killer Queen, has risen to power in the capital and a harsh line is now drawn between the elites in the Dome and the poor of the Outer Ring. The church has become all powerful and a new dark ages is forced upon the people of the Outer Ring where libraries are burned and certain knowledge and expression, forbidden.

Ella, a trans artist and young revolutionary, suffers the horrors of the Outer Ring and denies her desires to express herself as a woman. However, when she comes into contact with a strange artifact, she realizes the spirit that possesses it has the ability to grant her innermost wishes. But it is not without a price.

Her male body is changed to female and in one splendid day, the mother that was unaccepting, quickly accepts her and the boy she has a crush on, Ash, proposes marriage. Just when she thinks she's found happily ever after...everything is destroyed. In a savage raid on a secret revolutionary meeting, Ella's sister is killed. Ella is taken from Ash's arms to become a mistress effect for a pompous disillusioned general and quickly brought to the Dome. There, Ella discovers a great sickness festers, perhaps greater than the red death that ravages the streets of the Outer Ring-something unseen, savage, unfeeling and alien.

Meanwhile, outside the Dome, Ash, though tortured with revelations from his own tortured past, mounts a rescue mission to get Ella back. With the aid of a vigilante taking the mantle of the Black Narcissus and a mysterious man named Mr. Blond, they enact a plan to try to infiltrate the heavily guarded Dome, one that leads them into the freezing tundra of Europa and to a long abandoned vessel that the Narcissus promises holds the key into the Dome. However, savage horror mounts. The evil wish granter and soul consumer, named Sanzobal, has taken human form and has seized hold of the outer boroughs. Sanzobal is obsessed with the idea of consuming the souls of the aristos within the Dome. He mounts an attack with the aid of his cursed army of risen dead.

As factions within the Imperial palace fray and burn, a mysterious woman awakens and the coup of a killer queen is revealed, the savage war between Empire, alien and zombie comes to a cataclysmic head. In the very bloody conclusion, Ella must choose between the temptation of reclaiming dreams and her very survival, will she be willing to lose Ash and her very soul forever and will her choice enable Sanzobal, The Lord of Chaos, to become the most powerful force in the galaxy?
