Line 4:
In post-renaissance Europe, a brutal genocide was carried out against mutants, resulting in the decimation of the species. [[Twenty Minutes Into the Future]] a revolutionary faction called the Paralysis has emerge to enact the mutants' revenge. The leader of the revolt, Isabella Sordeno, {{spoiler|returns from the dead}} and leads the stumbling organization on the path to a bloody coup d'etat of [[Canada, Eh?|Canada]].
Among Isabella's followers is disillusioned hit-werewolf Kiera Graves, who at first wants nothing more but to [[Bottle Fairy|drink booze]] and [[For the Evulz|murder humans]] for the rest of her days. That's until she falls in love with her comrade, Jackson Solomon, an intellectual "prison-addled" psychopath who is determined to save her from her destructive little self. As she becomes closer and closer to the man who has known [[Cold-Blooded Torture|misery in its deepest and purest forms]], she must reevaluate the way she lives her own life, all the while dealing with a [[Stalker with a Crush]] and the species barrier, as relations between mutants and aristocrats are not often tolerated in mutant high society. Just as victory seems imminent, Kiera learns from a local prophetess that Jackson is fated to die at her hands.
Readers with weaker stomachs [[High Octane Nightmare Fuel|are advised to stand clear.]]
Line 17:
** And the Fleischer staff, and militant humans...let's face it, this universe borders on violent [[Dystopia]].
* [[Beta Couple]]: {{spoiler|Chamika and Vance.}}
* [[Black and Gray Morality]]: The Paralysis is a combination of the evils of cult-mania and corporatism, headed up by a sadistic megalomaniac and populated by murderous psychopaths, but since the Scandinavian Confederation as an even more sadistic fiend at its forefront and conducts ruthless experiments on people, it's all OK.
* [[Blondes Are Evil]]
** Actually, the hair colors are [[
* [[Broken Bird]]: Chamika.
* [[Catch Phrase]]: "Hey chickadee!"
Line 25:
** Like remember the time when Veronika {{spoiler|gave Jackson cancer?}}
*** And then {{spoiler|dug it out with a fucking SWITCHBLADE?}}
** Or the time she {{spoiler|ripped out his kidney?}}
** Or her {{spoiler|torture of an unconscious Isabella with a Pear of Anguish?}}
* [[Complete Monster]]: Veronika.
Line 31:
* [[Dark Action Girl]]: Every. Female.
* [[Dead Little Sister]]: Dead older sister, in {{spoiler|Chamika's}} case.
* [[Deadly Upgrade]]: Kiera's [[Our Werewolves Are Different|lycanthropy]], with [[Involuntary Shapeshifting]] coming standard.
* [[Defeat Means Friendship]]: After Chamika whoops Kiera's butt in the school courtyard over political and ideological differences, they become inseparable best friends.
* [[Don't You Dare Pity Me!]]: "Don't look at me, I don't want your pity."
* [[First Law of Resurrection]]: {{spoiler|Isabella}}
Line 39:
* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: {{spoiler|Jackson's death. He sacrificed himself to save Kiera, and the worst part is, she was immune to the plague.}}
* [[High Octane Nightmare Fuel]]: Between the Pear of Anguish, a torture chair, a nephrectomy with no anesthetic, and {{spoiler|Kiera cannibalizing her own father}}, it seems the Mackay is just trying to outdo herself with every passing chapter.
* [[Jerkass Woobie]]: Jackson.
* [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]]: Vance Carton.
* [[Loves the Sound of Screaming]]: Isabella: "I WANT TO HEAR YOU SCREAM!"
** Kiera during "Silent Screams", anyone?

* [[Manic Pixie Dream Girl]]: Chamika, in spades.
Line 51:
* [[Nietzsche Wannabe]]: Veronika.
** "There's no real justice in this world..."
* [[Nightmare Fetishist]]: Kiera, in a most literal sense. Not only is she [[Fetish Fuel|incredibly turned on]] by {{spoiler|the horrific scars Jackson received while being tortured in prison}}, but she thinks his haunting, traumatizing nightmares are endearing and "cute".
* [[Opera Gloves]]: Granted, Kiera has a [[Scars Are Forever|good reason]] for using them.
* [[Prison Rape]]
