When a solar storm erases the electrical grid and plunges the New Avalon Protectorate into chaos, idealistic lawyer Adrian Blackwell is mid-trial against Blackwell Meats, the slaughterhouse empire built by his own tyrannical father. As society collapses in forty-eight hours, Adrian discovers that his family's talent for cold-blooded butchery is not a learned cruelty but a dormant genetic curse—and the first savage code of the new world will be written in his own hand, with his own blood.
