Zombies plague the apocalyptic landscape, insatiable and wreaking havoc on the remaining uninfected. Settlements desperately hold out, fighting for the last remnants of civilization while striving for a return to normalcy. At twenty years old, I should be worrying about final exams and where I’m going for spring break. Instead, I’m sharpening blades and loading guns. My family chooses to make its home away from the settlements, deep in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. We raid stores across the state, gathering supplies which we in turn trade to the settlements. It’s a simple, but dangerous, existence and biters haunt us every step of the way. Lucky for us, I have a secret . . . I’m a necromancer. My name is Anya Donovan and this is my survival story.

When Alice Reed awakens from her coma, she's met with nothing. Literally. She wakes up in a house she doesn't remember is hers. Her family? Whoever they are, they're gone now. She has no memory of anything in her past after a fatal accident. Clueless, she wanders the unfamiliar city where she finds old friends whom she does not recognize. Not only friends, but the dead, who roam the streets after a virus spread through the country, killing over half of the worlds population. The virus and the dead continue to kill. Can Alice and the group of survivors survive? And will Alice ever get the chance to meet her family, or will it be too late?
