Emery Hart lost everything the day the world fell apart - including the only person she couldn't live without. Alone and guarded, she's learned how to keep going. Feeling? That's a luxury. Then she meets Daryl Dixon - sharp-tongued, rough-edged, and just as broken. In a world overrun by the dead, they weren't looking for each other. But somehow, surviving doesn't feel so lonely anymore. "You just push everyone away, Daryl." "Ain't pushin' you. If I was, you'd already be gone." "I wouldn't even give you the chance."
