when the prison falls, cassius "kaz" rhee loses more than a home- -he loses the control he's fought to keep since the world ended. as glenn's older brother and a long-time member of rick's group, kaz has always carried the weight no one else would. but separated and forced back into the wild, he starts facing the part of himself that the new world keeps dragging to the surface; the anger, the violence, the fear of becoming something he won't recognize. then there's rosita espinosa- -tough, guarded, and just as stubbornly alive as he is. she sees the cracks in him, even when he tries to hide them. together, they fight their way toward whatever's left of their people... while kaz battles the fear that surviving this world might cost him the last pieces of who he used to be. in a world ruled by the dead, staying human is the real fight.
