Publisher's Synopsis
Imperial Rome is a city on the brink, her citizens divided by class, religion - and zombies who feast upon the living. The patricians cling to the old faith, hoping to appease their ancestors by lavishing food upon the tombs of the dead, even as the poor starve in the streets. They blame the zombie outbreak on the Christians, certain they have angered the ancestors into unleashing this ungodly plague. Father Polycarp, however, believes differently. He is blessed with the Apostle's Gift, and is the only one who stands against the corruption of the living and the hunger of the dead.
