Madison and Carl met as children, two lonely souls finding each other on the swings of a quiet playground. Their friendship was simple, comforting, and the first light in lives shadowed by loss and fear.
But life had darker plans. By the time they were twelve, a viral outbreak had turned the world upside down, leaving cities in ruins and people in cages of their own fear. The dead don't stay buried, and survival is a game with no rules.
Together, Madison and Carl navigate the horrors of the apocalypse: desperate scavenging, deadly encounters, and the ever present threat of losing everything, including each other. Through it all, their friendship deepens, becoming a lifeline in a world gone mad. And in the cracks of fear and despair, they discover something neither expected: love forged not in safety, but in survival.
Heartbeats In The Horde is a gripping story of childhood bonds tested by chaos, of bravery and heartbreak, and of a love that can endure even when the world has ended.
