Pokračovanie temného Lesa kostí. Jediný okamih dokáže Gabrielle prevrátiť život naruby. Spolu s mamou žije v majáku na konci mestečka Vista. Mesto chráni bariéra pred Mudmi, ktorých aj naďalej ovláda jediná túžba – večný hlad po ľudskom mäse. Chuť zakázaného ovocia a túžba nasledovať priateľov a chlapca, pre ktorého jej srdce prudšie bije, však Gabrielle razom zhorknú, a tak na vlastnej koži zistí, akí sú Zabijaci rýchli, že Vyznávači znovuzrodenia naozaj existujú, a že v mŕtvych zónach medzi chránenými územiami Protektorátu sa občas všeličo deje... A Gabrielle zisťuje, že cesta späť do Lesa kostí je nevyhnutná.

Posledná časť voľnej trilógie. Annah vie ako prežiť. Odkedy sa Elias pridal k regrútom, žije sama v Temnom Meste. Vlastne skôr prežíva. Protektorát už neexistuje a regrúti predstavujú po Vzbure skôr hrozbu než oporu, a tak je každý deň iba snahou dopracovať sa k ďalšiemu ránu. Annah ťaží minulosť, rany na duši i na tele. Prežiť v tomto meste nie je jednoduché a dni zrazu prinášajú nové a nové prekvapenia. Udalosti naberajú spád. Stretnutie so sestrou strieda zoznámenie s Catcherom a Eliasov návrat. Nakazené potkany, znesvätení či Mudovia už zďaleka nie sú jediným ohrozením života. Annah čoskoro zisťuje, že krutosť regrútov sa vyrovná ohavnostiam, ktoré páchajú znesvätení a Rezervácia nie je žiadnym ostrovom istoty. Podarí sa jej napriek všetkému zbúrať múry, ktoré jej bránia v láske? Zdolá nástrahy, ktoré pre obyvateľov Temného Mesta prichystá horda znesvätených? Prežije, alebo skončí ako večne nenásytný a malátny prízrak?

Hlavná hrdinka Mary žije v postapokalyptickej kolónii, ktorú obklopuje v tesnom zovretí Les kostí plný znesvätených zombií. Obyvateľov pred nimi chráni iba plot z pevného pletiva. Ľudia pomaly zabúdajú na minulosť, podaktorí už ani neveria, že kedysi existovala rozvinutá civilizácia, iní zasa žijú v presvedčení, že za Lesom kostí, v ktorom na nich číha nebezpečenstvo, už nič nie je. Iba nepatrná hŕstka si zachovala vieru v existenciu života za Lesom. Mary hľadá odpovede na nepohodlné otázky: Prečo sa Znesvätení vrátili? Je kolónia naozaj jediným miestom na Zemi, v ktorom dnes existuje život? Dá sa prejsť Lesom kostí a nestať sa Znesvätenou? A ešte čosi – Mary verí v lásku.
