-"There's an entire world out there that we don't know about. Don't be fooled by history, Drake; no one really knows what happened to the magic, or the dragons."- When Drake Darkhurst, the unwanted son of a merchant, is taken as an apprentice to a 'retired' dragon slayer, he thinks it a lucky escape from the cruelty of his father. But as his travels take him further form the life he's always known, he finds himself thrown into a world of secrecy, sorcery and struggle for power, a world who's existence may rest on his shoulders.

The seven deadly sins with a shambling twist. It has been one hundred days since the zombies claimed the world. Cash, along with forty-two survivors, have found safety in the secluded and well-guarded Fox National Park. The leaves are changing colors, a beautiful, brutal reminder that winter is coming. As the survivors prepare for freezing months without electricity and not enough food, they learn of massive zombie herds several hundred miles north...and headed their way. To save the park, Cash must find a place for the survivors to hide from the migrating herds. If Cash and her small band of volunteers don't succeed by winter, the Fox survivors just may become Deadland's Harvest. (Deadland's Harvest is a journey through Dante Alighieri's classic tale on the seven deadly sins... zombie apocalypse style!) (Note: This is a draft so please excuse any errors. The finished novel is available in paperback, ebook, and audiobook).
