Publisher's blurb:
The sun has not risen in seven days, and the heart of London pulses with an unnatural energy. A strange cult, the Sons of Tammuz, worships the dead and seeks to overthrow the last vestiges of sanity in the world. The streets are empty except for the loyal followers of the cult, who search for the key to bringing about the Last Dawn, the day when the dead will rise and the living will kneel.
The cold grip of the Thames pulls you under, the weight of your clothes and the icy water pressing down as darkness envelops you. Your lungs burn with the last breath you didn't have time to take, and just as consciousness slips away, you feel rough hands pulling you from the depths. You awaken on the muddy banks, shivering and disoriented, the flickering torches of the Tammuz camp casting twisted shadows on the trees above.
