In a world where gods walk through prophecy, magic demands sacrifice, and ancient bloodlines hold dangerous secrets, Peregrina has spent her life trying to survive. After a mysterious injury awakens powers she cannot control, Peregrina finds herself drawn into a journey across the wild lands of Tradenia alongside loyal companions, hidden allies, and reluctant protectors. Haunted by a voice that whispers from within her mind and pursued by forces she barely understands, she must uncover the truth behind her growing magic before it consumes her completely. As rumors of fae influence spread, forgotten prophecies resurface, and old gods begin to stir, Peregrina discovers that her fate may be tied to a conflict far older than any kingdom. Along the way she encounters secretive gnomes whose blood carries miraculous and terrifying abilities, ancient forests hiding unseen threats, and a world balanced on the edge of change. Blending fantasy, mystery, mythology, and adventure, this story follows one young woman's struggle to understand who she is, what she is becoming, and whether destiny is something to embrace-or defy.

In a world where the dead walk and the living betray, survival is everything. She built her fortress brick by brick, hidden behind towering walls and guarded by a loyal pack of dogs she raised from helpless pups. To outsiders, it's a paradise in the apocalypse: fruit trees heavy with food, a garden full of life, and safety from the horrors clawing at the world beyond. But she hides more than her home. Behind the bandana covering her face lies a secret-fangs sharpened against her will, a reminder of the monsters who once forced her to kill. Now, silence is her shield, and her dogs are her only family. When she saves a boy and his brothers from a swarm of the undead, her careful world begins to change. Trust is dangerous. Attachment is deadly. Yet as raiders descend upon her haven, destroying everything she's fought to protect, she'll discover that the very curse she despises may be the weapon that saves them all. Fangs of Survival: The Zombie Plague is a heart-pounding tale of loyalty, loss, and love in a shattered world-where sometimes the fiercest monster is the one humanity created.

A secret unknown mission, a shot down helicopter, a guilt-ridden heart, and no name. Yep, that sounds just about right. I came to Abel Township for one reason only, but after the unfortunate event of my helicopter being shot down by a rocket launcher of all things, I'm apparently going to be staying here a lot longer than planned. Because of it, I'm going to have to play nice in order to survive, which is a lot harder than it seems. Everyone carries a burden with them, me included. I'm a runner, and until I leave this pathetic little settlement I'm going to do my job, and run. But one of the things I'm learning it that nothing is ever as it seems. Each piece of the puzzle brings another question, another addition to the story shrouded in mystery and dripping with sinister intent. Maybe this settlement is as pathetic as I thought it was. Maybe my helicopter was shot down for a reason. I cannot wait around for an answer. I learned that long ago. Now deemed Runner Five, I have decided I will do what I have to do to find out every mystery here in Abel Township. And I'm going to start with my actual mission. What is Project Greenshoot... And how will it help this settlement survive the zombie apocalypse? Disclaimer: I do not own Zombies Run or it's characters. The only characters I own are the ones I created all by myself. This is my Runner Five's perspective on the missions in season 1 and just in Abel Township. Hope you enjoy. Cover by @_Thalix_

The third wave is looming, mere weeks away, but in the aftermath of a zombie apocalypse, problems never come just one at a time. Season 2 of The Virus Within * * * * * Life isn't easy, and that's doubly true when you're a zombie surrounded by humans, a crazy redhead, and a far-too-curious scientist.

Reports of a Nightstalker attack come mere weeks before the third wave is due, and Trinity is one of the few who have the necessary skills to take on such a zombie. Leaving her sister in the safety of the Stronghold, Trinity joins the rest of the group as they embark on a road trip to locate the feral creature before it can kill anyone else. Trouble looms on the horizon like a thunderstorm, and where there's thunder, there's lightning. You better pack your dish soap because the third wave isn't waiting for anyone.
