When Rick and Co attacked the saviors' outpost, they never expected to take a prisoner. Kali, one of Negan's lieutenants and best friend, was captured that night and held in the jail cell below Rick Grimes' house. When the war ends with Negan captured and Kali wounded, it sets the two on a path of survival, heartache, and potential happiness. Rick Grimes' plan starts to fall apart when Judith starts to ask questions. Is there really a monster in her basement?
Will Kali learn Rick's secret? Can Rick and Negan actually work together when needed?

𝖡𝗅𝗈𝗈𝖽 𝖺𝗇𝖽 𝖤𝗆𝖻𝖾𝗋 - 𝖳𝖶𝖣
Ethan Grimes, a sharp-shooting force with a devil's charm and a trigger finger that doesn't flinch, carries the weight of a name that demands strength in a world gone to hell. Lila, the Greene family's fierce healer, stitches wounds and souls with hands as steady as her heart is wild, her compassion a blade that cuts both ways. In the brutal sprawl of The Walking Dead, where the dead hunger and the living break, their connection sparks a fire that could warm them or burn everything down. Bound by desire and tested by blood, they navigate a landscape of gnashing teeth and fractured trust, where every choice is a gamble and love is as dangerous as the next step. Blood and Ember is a gut-punch dive into passion, violence, and the raw edges of humanity, where survival demands everything you've got-and more.
