When the world ended, survival became the only law.
Gwen Grimes - Rick's sister - lost everything when the dead began to walk. Once a nurse and a dreamer, she's now a fighter haunted by the ghosts of her past. But in the ashes of humanity's downfall, she finds an unexpected ally in Daryl Dixon - a man of few words, scarred by loss, and hardened by the world's cruelty.
What begins as reluctant trust soon grows into something deeper: a bond forged in blood, loyalty, and quiet moments between battles. Together, they build a fragile life amid chaos - one filled with laughter, tenderness, and the family they thought they'd never have again.
But the world doesn't stay kind for long.
When old enemies rise and new threats close in, Daryl's fierce protectiveness is tested. Gwen's strength - and her unborn child - become the center of a brutal fight for survival. With Maggie and Carol at her side and Daryl leading the charge, love becomes their greatest weapon.
In a world where hope is a luxury, Daryl and Gwen discover that family isn't something you're born into - it's something you fight for.
