Cover Art by: Alex Pernau
LINA HALLOW, a sixteen-year old suburban high school student, is brutally attacked by MILES FARBER, a fellow classmate obsessed with Lina. Lina’s family is killed in the assault but Lina survives. Recovering from her physical and emotional wounds, Lina looks to the courts to get justice for her family. But when Myles is freed on a technicality, Lina’s thirst for vengeance grows. Turning to the dark arts, Lina summons three ancient FURIES, a trio of supernatural sisters, banished to the Underworld millennia ago. In their day, the furies brought vengeance on those who had wronged others. Lina begs them to take bloody revenge on Myles. But Myles flees town before they can punish him. Lina resolves to hunt Myles down and make him pay for what he did to her and her family. Grateful to Lina for having freed them, the furies agree to accompany her. They may be back in the land of the living, but it is a modern world they do not understand. They need Lina’s help to navigate a world of cell phones, memes, online dating and social justice. And so the four women set out on a cross-country quest. Along their path, the furies encounter other lost and broken souls who need their help. But Lina will discover that justice and revenge are two different things. And as Lina’s once kind heart grows colder and darker, the furies ironically begin to discover the beauty and promise in humanity. Will Lina get her revenge, and if she does, will she lose her soul? Will the furies become force for good or harbinger for the end of days?
