Little town, little events. Sage Marie Andrews has always been the dirty blonde, easy going tom boy of the small town Vernon Oaks that has everyone knowing everyone, gossip to beat the mailing system and a slightly stereotypical set of girls and guys to give anyone not used to it, a headache. Especially in the new level of parties and teenage nights Sage has recently taken habit in. At the young age of 15, she was friends with everyone, not super popular, but definitely in the spot light. She's the kind of girl who would volunteer to clean bed pans for old folks, and cringe at the idea of shopping unless it's for her collection of sport goods. Sure she made enemies, but she had allies too. One in particular. Chandler Riggs, a younger 12 year old who needed a friend, and she was there. After a brief but impressionable summer of growing close and being inseparable buddies, he moves away to Las Vegas for 3 years never contacting her again, just for her life of her first boyfriend, school studies, household drama and basically her attempt to change into a more feminine girl fall apart when she gets news her sweet kiddo pal is coming back, only to find, the city changes things, in more ways than one, and the kind, innocent, polite boy she once knew, is characteristically unrecognizable in the weirdest of ways. Drama, hate, triangles, mixed feelings, past secrets, present conflicts, these are all expected when the boy too wild for her small town changes her life at every turn; but what happens, when the most unexpected of feelings occur, prompting issues and shaky hope, when he seems incapable of truly loving anything? Or anyone. Not even himself, and she starts to wonder just what changed him in the 3 years he's been away to make him take on a whole new role in her life as well as challenge other aspects of it, along with her own troubling journey. Because for sure, they're not friends anymore. In fact, their far from it.

Book 1: After 8 years of being held hostage, 15 year old, Madison Smith and her family finally escapes with help from a large group of survivers. The group is big but she notices one person in particular. A boy. Around her age, with blue eyes and a distinguishable hat. These people aren't like the those she remembers as a little girl. They're different. When she escapes, these survivors tell her that life isn't how she remembers. She learns that everyone she knew is dead, but these monsters, walkers the group called them, weren't just dead, they walked, they search around for something to feed on. Us. They look for anything living to feed from. If they get near you, you're in trouble. If they scratch you, you die. If they bite you, you die. "We're screwed. All we can do now is survive."
