In this post-apocalyptic thriller, a war-ravaged female revolutionary goes up against her archnemesis in nuclear-decimated England.

With the specter of her murdered family finally put to rest, and her rebel forces spread across an obliterated Britain, Helen Damnation stands on the verge of winning the war against Tereus Winterborn. But even with his ambitions threatened and the very survival of his militia of Reapers at stake, Commander Winterborn's thirst to take down Helen once and for all has not slackened. With a plan to capture Gevaudan Shoal, the fearsome genetically engineered Grendelwolf who is Helen's closet ally, Winterborn is on course to weaken the rebellion. And with Dr. Mordrake under his command creating a weapon that will ensure Winterborn's rule, the commander can practically taste victory. And when secrets about Helen threaten to tear both Gevaudan and the resistance apart, Winterborn feels certain he's about to get his dearest wish...
