The world ended, but Ajax Dixon never expected to survive it.

At twenty-one, Ajax has spent his entire life trying to escape the shadow of his abusive father and the mistakes of his past. When the dead begin to rise, he finds himself surviving alongside his older brother Daryl and a group of strangers who slowly become something he never thought he'd have again: a family.

he starts growing closer to Mayla, a young doctor who becomes his greatest source of comfort-and the person who makes him wonder if there's still something worth living for.

As the group faces loss, betrayal, and threats, Ajax finds himself becoming a protector to Carl while struggling with the weight of everything he's been forced to do.

In a world where the dead are the least of their problems, Ajax must decide what kind of man he wants to become-and whether he can build the family he never had without becoming the man he spent his whole life running from.
