Salvation doesn't always come in the form of a person. Not for Carrie White, it doesn't. Not when you've got telekinesis and an insane mother. When New York City's Oscorp releases an initiative to provide a new and improved curriculum to small towns around America, the town of Chamberlain, Maine, makes that list. The town is sent supplies, and the kids of Ewen High learn smarter. That's the idea. But what happens when you send fate disguised as technology to a town that holds a girl with trauma and telekinesis?

The world ended, but danger learned to evolve. Rowan Blake has survived longer than she should have - through grit, instinct, and a willingness to walk into the dark alone. Her compound is gone. Her people scattered. And something new hunts the abandoned places between the dead and the living. When a scavenging mission forces her underground, she crosses paths with a stranger with a crossbow and ocean-storm eyes - Daryl Dixon. Their uneasy alliance should have ended in the tunnels, but the world has a way of binding survivors who fight the same demons. Now they're trapped beneath a collapsing city, stalked by mutated walkers and an unseen colony that should not exist. Trust is a luxury. Attachment is a danger. But as the shadows close in, Rowan and Daryl discover they might survive the dead... but not what they're starting to feel. Gritty. Violent. Slow-burn. A Walking Dead romance where survival isn't the only thing worth fighting for.
