The Passage is a post-apocalyptic trilogy by Justin Cronin, consisting of three books published between 2010 and 2016, beginning with The Passage in 2010, followed by The Twelve in 2012, and concluding with The City of Mirrors in 2016. The series is set in a world devastated by a viral plague that has transformed most of humanity into vampire-like creatures known as virals. It follows a group of survivors as they wage war against the virals, navigating themes of resistance, survival, and the moral complexities of coexistence. The final installment, The City of Mirrors, brings the story to a climactic conclusion, exploring the lingering threats and uncertain future of the human race. The series was originally planned for a film adaptation but was instead developed into a television series.
