After the death of her parents, Mia Monroe is left to lead Alexandria on her own.
Behind the walls, her people have food, water, homes, and something that almost feels like normal life. But Mia knows safety is fragile. Most of Alexandria has been sheltered since the beginning, and the world outside does not care how good her people are.
Then Rick Grimes and his group arrive.
Dirty, starving, and armed, they are everything Alexandria has been protected from. Rick doesn't trust the walls. He doesn't trust the promise of safety. And he definitely doesn't trust the young woman sitting behind the desk with a soft voice and twin blades at her hips.
But Mia is not afraid of him.
She sees exactly what Rick is.
Dangerous. Broken. Loyal. A man willing to kill for the people he loves.
Alexandria needs survivors.
Rick's family needs a home.
And somewhere between distrust, blood, and the walls they are both desperate to protect, Mia Monroe becomes the one thing Rick Grimes never saw coming.
