Rafe has spent his entire life believing humanity should cease to exist. He's about to find out if he really means it.

When an army of six million death-mask creatures offers him the means to cleanse Earth of humanity, the opportunity he never thought possible is suddenly within reach. But as the line between his own will and something far darker begins to dissolve, he must confront a truth about himself that has been waiting in the shadows since before he was born.
