A fallen prince goes undercover in the palace that destroyed his kingdom. A princess armors herself in coldness, unaware that love is about to crack her open. And in the space between duty and desire, two people will discover that the most devastating betrayals are the ones that are real. Lysander has spent twelve years preparing for one moment: to assassinate the king who murdered his family. He enters the palace as Sir Cael, a forgettable guard, ready to complete his mission and vanish. But Aurielle-the conqueror's daughter-is nothing like he expected. She listens like it matters. She sees him when no one else does. And somewhere between her mother's garden and candlelit conversations, his mission becomes impossible to separate from his heart. Aurielle has built her life on control-the perfect armor for a princess in a court that exploits vulnerability. But Lysander makes her want to be seen. He makes her believe that love might survive across enemy lines. He makes her imagine a future where she reforms her father's cruel empire, where justice and mercy coexist. Then everything falls apart.

The world ended five years ago. We're still here. Unfortunately. When the dead started walking, the living stopped trusting each other. Governments fell. Raiders rose. And somewhere in a underground lab, scientists started hunting down the people the virus couldn't kill. Alia Shah has survived five years of the apocalypse with exactly one person she trusts - her brother. She isn't looking for more. More gets you killed. Then a stranger's bullet finds her shoulder, and suddenly she's bleeding out in a ruined city with three people she doesn't know, a twelve year old who keeps looking at her like she hung the moon, and a boy who shot her and apparently intends to spend the rest of his life feeling terrible about it. Great. Now they're headed south through two weeks of forest, military patrols, and raider territory, chasing a rumor about a survivor settlement that may or may not exist. Close quarters. Limited supplies. Two sets of brothers who are all sharp edges and bad communication. And somewhere between the gunshot and the journey, things start to get - complicated. AFTER THE FALL is a slow burn zombie apocalypse story about found family, learning to trust the wrong people at the right time, and what it means to be human when the world has done everything it can to make you stop. Two brothers who won't admit they need each other. Two siblings who already know they do. One very long walk south. Updates. Mature themes, violence, and the occasional crisis.
