𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐭, 𝐈 𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐝. ♠♠♠ Life had never been kind to Melanie Grimes. Obstacles after every hurdle, battles after every fight. And when the world fell, it was the cherry on top. But through the fear, danger, and death of the new world, Melanie was able to find her inner strength that warranted her the nickname 'Ace'. But, with every silver lining, there is always a dark cloud waiting to pour down over her head and wash away everything she'd worked so hard towards. ♠♠♠ "You're our ace. We need you and your skills." ♠♠♠ TW: This book will consist of murder, gore, weapon violence, mentions of sexual assault, sexual content, and miscarriages. This does not fully follow the timeline of the show The Walking Dead. This book is definitely a slow burn. Seasons 1-11 Story cover by @s1utformen [The Walking Dead fanfic] [OCxOC fanfic]
