Now mankind's last hope lies in the Cursed Children: young girls infected with the virus who have managed to retain a hold on their humanity.

But the very thing that gives them power is a ticking time bomb, so even as they protect humanity, they are also feared and shunned. Are they Girls? Monsters? Or Mankind's Ultimate Salvation?
