"I'm the wall, Adelaide. Nothing gets past me. But who's going to protect you from me?" When the apocalypse hit, twenty-year-old Adelaide Grimes lost everything-except for Shane Walsh. Her father's best friend. Her protector. Her secret obsession since she was sixteen. In the wreckage of Georgia, Shane isn't just a deputy anymore; he's the dark, jagged force keeping her alive. But as the lines between protector and lover begin to blur in the shadows of the quarry, the unthinkable happens: Rick Grimes returns. Now, the "happy family" is back, and Shane is being pushed back into the role of the loyal sidekick. But Adelaide isn't a child anymore, and she doesn't want her father's morality. She wants the man who stayed. As Rick leads them toward the light, Shane descends into the dark-and Adelaide is going right down with him. The world is dead. Morality is ash. The only thing left is him.
