Yet with all the secrets kept in Sweetwood there was still more, buried deep beneath the earth. Beneath the town was a twisted mirror image of Sweetwood where the Midnight Children hide. The war between the two species had shook Heaven and Earth and things had come loose, escaping in the chaos and flames. The Midnight Children were the descendants of ancient monsters and now for the first time in millennium the monsters have returned to walk the Earth.

When Harmony meets one of them, a skinny creature named Scavenger, both wounded hearts find the one thing they never expected to find in the center of a maelstrom of death: true love.
