A blood-soaked and grotesque triumph that cuts like a scalpel and reads like your darkest nightmare. Mors vincit omnia. Death conquers all. London, 1883. The veil between the living and the dead has thinned. Violet-eyed mediums communicate with spirits under the watchful eye of the Royal Speaker Society. Sixteen-year-old transsexual, autistic Silas Bell would rather tear out his violet eyes than become an obedient Speaker wife. It doesn’t matter that he is a boy and not the girl the world insists on seeing in him. After a failed attempt to escape an arranged marriage, Silas is diagnosed with the Veil Sickness—a mysterious affliction that drives violet-eyed women to madness—and is sent to the Braxton Sanatorium. When the spirits of missing students plead for his help, he resolves to delve into Braxton's depths and reveal its innards to the world—provided the school doesn’t destroy him first.

Sixteen-year-old trans boy Benji is on the run from the cult that raised him-the fundamentalist sect that unleashed Armageddon and decimated the world's population. Desperately, he searches for a place where the cult can't get their hands on him, or more importantly, on the bioweapon they infected him with. But when cornered by monsters born from the destruction, Benji is rescued by a group of teens from the local Acheson LGBTQ+ Center, affectionately known as the ALC. The ALC's leader, Nick, is gorgeous, autistic, and a deadly shot, and he knows Benji's darkest secret: the cult's bioweapon is mutating him into a monster deadly enough to wipe humanity from the earth once and for all. Still, Nick offers Benji shelter among his ragtag group of queer teens, as long as Benji can control the monster and use its power to defend the ALC. Eager to belong, Benji accepts Nick's termsuntil he discovers the ALC's mysterious leader has a hidden agenda, and more than a few secrets of his own.[Bokinfo]
