IN DEATH THERE IS REBIRTH. IN PAIN THERE IS SALVATION. IN MUTILATION THERE IS EVOLUTION.

 

 

The eternal war between Light and Dark takes a savage new direction. The battleground is Britain. The weapons are our own children...

 

Self-harming is no longer an isolated mental condition affecting a proportion of the young. It is a widespread affliction of epidemic proportions. Amputation and mutilation are commonplace. And what comes from those injuries is far worse than mere pain, terror and blood...

 

For an alien presence has announced itself. It has launched an invasion that mankind is unable to comprehend, let alone resist...

 

The last hope for humanity rests with one girl whose self-harming releases a different kind of beast...

 

...a beast that the powers behind the mysterious harbour town of Fairlight are very interested in. A golden, blinding light which cures. A light that promises power beyond imagining...

 

A power that may win the war...but demands a price that is more destructive than the invaders themselves...

 

This midsummer, the Dark will be triumphant...

 

“What will you see when you cut yourself?”
