The world is changed, many of the globe's largest cities lie in ruins. Thousands are dead and thousands more have lost themselves to an all consuming madness. The once great city of New York is now nothing but a haunted wasteland home a scarce few who have not yet subcumed to the creeping insanity and deadly rage. The army is in tatters and the police are but a fading memory, it is a brave or foolish soul who walks these forsaken streets.

But in the very pit of this twisted hell there remian those few who have the will power or abilities to struggle on. Then there are those known only as 'The Taken' youth who were torn from their families in the initial outbreak of what is now called the 'Creeping Dread', these chosen ones are specially targeted because they possess what the Shadow Corps call 'special talents'.

But the remnants of the military along with the dark Shadow Corps are fighting a losing battle, they are steadily losing ground to the 'doomed ones'. What will become of those who remain free of the strange affliction? Who knows? The fate of the city, if not the world lies in the hands of a precious few.

Description: James Everett is a young boy of sixteen, his dreams are haunted by memories of the day he was taken forcibly from his family and had to watch then turn the pieces by the 'doomed ones'. He doesn't fully understand why he was taken, only that he can do things that others can't. The Shadow Corps intend to use his abilities for their own gain, just as they do those of any other 'gifted individuals' they come across.

Despite the grimmness of his current situation, imprisoned in a secret Shadow Corps training facility, James maintains a cheery and deceptively happy persona. Perhaps masking his own doubts and the fact that he is terrified. He was soft golden-blond hair just like his mother had and intelligent gray-green eyes. Utilising every spare moment he has he plots his escape.
