Theresa Salomé is cursed and blessed. Every Friday the 13th, she must kill and cannibalize her victim, extending her life. She's collected knowledge, amassed wealth, and watched empires come and go. But as centuries pass, the cycle and isolation threaten to tear her mind apart.

Everything changes when they meet. Michael's determined to rise above his cravings, but Theresa believes everyone deserves a seat at the table. Both are searching for who they are: monsters, a preview of humanity's future, or a new variety of pawns for gods and devils.
