Death, war, genocide. Nothing is off the table for Gavril to accomplish his plan. Volume I, Life and Death begins thirteen years after the near world-ending World War III with Rohan, a new mutant stuck in a world vastly different from the past—new rules, new people, and new powers dictate the course of his life.

Erika, Donovan and Gianna, leaders of the new world, are faced with a dangerous threat, one that endangers everything they have worked for under Gavril’s convincing rule. Failure is not an option, however, challenges of ethics, morality and subterfuge arise from their journey when a powerful resistance group arises.

Anastasia and Gavril find themselves thrown into a fight against the resistance with Rohan on their side. But while Gavril continues with his plan, moving the world forward, Anastasia finds new meaning and begins to change in ways she did not anticipate, and at costs she did not want.

Seemingly united against the resistance, Anastasia and Rohan, along with the new world leaders, seek to stop the rise of new mutants under Gavril’s conniving hand. But the more Anastasia and her crew discover, the more they realize Gavril’s plan is not so righteous. And an unlikely leader of the resistance may be just what the crew needs to fight for the truth—and their lives.
