"The bandit parried William's first few slashes. Then he relented to the onslaught of his attack. William dispatched him much the same way as the other bandit. When he was done, he looked around. "That was quick," he thought. He climbed back into the carriage as the driver thanked him profusely. His uncle patted him on the back, congratulating him. Then William realized what he had done. He had just killed two men, killed without regret at the time. Killed without thinking. He was horrified at himself. He looked down at his hands. The hands of a killer. A murderer. Then he fainted clean away, right in the seat." William is a teen in a medieval setting. But he has a life like no other ordinary teen. His father a traitor, his mother unheard of, his uncle forcing him to train as a knight, he doesn't know what to do.
A Virus is plaguing humans. But this is no ordinary Virus. It's turning people into monsters. The News has dubbed these different creatures common names; Banshees, Witches, Sirens, Dragons and Mermaids. Each creature is from a different strand of The Virus. The Banshee strand mainly affects woman, while the Witch strand focuses on men. The Sirens are the rarest strand. Dragons and Mermaids are the least devastating to the human brain, so those infected with those two strands are still conscious of their actions.
Humans are desperately trying to survive. This story follows a girl with a hidden past. She tries to survive the crumbling city and avoid the infected.
