In a world where the dead rise and society crumbles, survival is no longer about hope or rebuilding. It's about making it through the day, one step at a time. Harper D. Whitlock, a sarcastic, no-nonsense woman in her mid-twenties, has lost count of how long it's been since the world ended. Along with her longtime friend Patrick and a handful of mismatched survivors, they carve out a fragile existence in the remnants of civilization, hiding in a makeshift shelter beneath the earth.

But surviving the undead is only half the battle. Inside the group, tensions rise as Travis-a self-appointed, whiny leader-clashes with Harper's pragmatism. When a new group of survivors arrives on their doorstep, Harper faces the ultimate test: trust strangers or risk their downfall at the hands of their own leader.

As they navigate supply runs, zombie attacks, and the exhausting politics of survival, Harper must use all her wit and grit to keep her crew together. Through moments of dark humor and small victories, the group holds onto the last shred of humanity they have left, despite the constant threat of the dead-and sometimes the living.

The apocalypse may have taken the world, but Harper and her group won't go down without a fight.

The government has a secret, they are the cause of the apocalypse of the dead. They wanted a weapon, something that no one would be able to beat. They created a virus, one that wakes the dead, that creates more like them. But it went wrong. It kills women, and those women infect others. They've found no women that can get past it. They keep the secret, let the world believe the apocalypse is here, that the government didn't just kill the world, while they search for a cure. It's then that they learn of the one girl that hasn't been infected, she's immune, and they're going to do everything they can to get her. Cassandra Bryan, a 19 year old college student, is thrown into the world of the undead when she comes home to witness firsthand what the world has come to. All she wants is to keep her friends safe and find somewhere safe they can live, away from the horrors of the world. She travels the continent, trying to find somewhere she can stay. She faces unimaginable threats and has to learn to face her fears, or die at the hands of them. She faces many things and find some things. She faces death and sadness, faces the unthinkable. And she finds real friendship and even love. Is it possible to love in the apocalypse? She'll just have to find out. She learns of what the government did and that they are looking for her, and she runs, trying to keep her and her friends alive. But there's only so much one girl can do. Will she find somewhere safe to hide from the government? Or will the government finally catch her? Will she fall to the world of the undead? Will her love survive the apocalypse? Or will she lose everything in her journey to survive? The beautiful cover was done by @mrsmalik892
