You faced The Twelve . Now enter The City of Mirrors for the final reckoning. As the bestselling epic races to its breathtaking finale, Justin Cronin's band of hardened survivors await the second coming of unspeakable darkness. The world we knew is gone.

Father of the Twelve. The anguish that shattered his human life haunts him, and the hatred spawned by his transformation burns bright.
