Kyra Houston never should have allowed her best friend to talk her into volunteering as a runner in the Downtown Zombie Race for charity. Everything was fine until the scare actors stopped pretending and became the undead.
Quintus Milkwood, a Wood Elf and Lieutenant in the Aegidiusian Imperial Army, is not pleased to be sent to locate a small time traitor who has hidden himself among the human population. He's even less pleased when the Elf escapes his hold by setting off a trap which releases the dozen humans he was experimenting on making them appear and act like the "zombies" humans fear.
Now Kyra's on the run, and Quintus is all that stands between her and a future as a demented evil Elf's human Zombie project...
