Book One. Complete. Arden was a fighter, or as Daryl liked to call her- a firecracker. But when Arden's brother goes missing that fire starts to die out and she is faced with a decision: stay with the man who saved her life or leave to find the only family she has left.

When the hot-headed Daryl Dixon fell from a ravine looking for Sophia, he was saved by an unusual heroine: the cold and stoic Emyli Evans. This convergence makes an unfeeling strange girl and a short-tempered redneck walking together in the midst of the dead seems not so unlikely anymore. PG - for Language, Mature Themes (sex, abuse, etc.) & Walker-Slaughters

"I don't wanna be a killer... I don't wanna be a monster, Daryl."

Kat and her five year old, Hailey, wake up to find that the world has ended. All alone.

Will they find a group and finally get a somewhat decent night of sleep? Finally feel safe again? What will they do when Kat runs into an old friend?

Rosaline is a nomad, living in the abandoned buildings of Atlanta during the walker epidemic. When she meets a group with exceptionally nice people, and one not so friendly, she decides to join them. However, with doing so she must decipher the varying moods of Daryl Dixon, fight off memories of her past that haunt her, fend off a smitten Shane, and try to stay alive in a place where the dead roam the streets.

One infection causes the society to crumble like a cookie. No military, no economy, no leaders, nothing. No one is coming to save you, no one is there to help. Everyday is a struggle for Mariah Beckon, her adopted brother and sister not making it any easier. When the trio cross paths with a group from Atlanta, she meets the people who she belongs with, her family. As the group of people fight to survive, Mariah falls head over heels for one man in particular. No matter how hard she tries she just can't seem to forget that redneck. This is a story of many things: love, betrayal, hatred, death, but the most important of all, surviving. I do not own any of AMC's The Walking Dead characters, however everyone else mine, do not copy ANYTHING please. @Copyright 2013.
