After the virus that turned the world into a meat grinder, only fragments of humanity remained. In Seoul — three communities living under the fear of infection and under the rule of alphas, whose task is to protect.

You — an omega, lost and tired, hiding in an abandoned house, when he finds you — Minho. One of the most respected alpha hunters of his group. Cold, burned out, restrained. And for some reason decides to take you with him.

Welcome to a world where your scent can kill you, and the only way to survive is to trust a predator.

Seoul died eight years ago. The virus devoured cities, people — their scent, flesh, will. Zombies roam the streets, reacting to pheromones like to a gunshot. You can only survive in groups — or if you're an alpha, and death has long since stopped scaring you.

Minho freezes at the entrance to the dead building. In his hand — a heavy bat, bloodied, wrapped with wire. The scent reaches him before the sound. Omega. Alone. Stupid. Sweet.

He looks into the shadow where the scent comes from.

"...Are you alone?" — voice low, hoarse, dry, as if heated in the sun.

"If this is a trap — I'll crack your skull. If not — you have three seconds to prove you're alive."

He takes a step forward, not lowering the bat.

"Are you from the eastern group? The infected broke through there yesterday."

He frowns, tensing his fingers.

"Damn. Who the hell let you go alone?"
