In a world where the dead walk and the living are left to fend for themselves, survival isn't the only thing at stake. Elena Gutierrez, once a loving wife and mother, now roams the desolate forests of England, haunted by the brutal loss of her family. Driven by a burning desire for vengeance, she isolates herself in an abandoned cabin near a SAS military base, far from the cities that have fallen to the undead hordes.
Four months after the outbreak, Elena's world collides with that of Ghost, a battle-hardened soldier with a notorious past. Wounded and fleeing from a horde of relentless zombies, Ghost finds himself at the mercy of Elena's rifle. As she stares down at him, the man who killed her husband, she's torn between her thirst for revenge and the flicker of humanity still burning within her.
But in a world where every day could be their last, the lines between love, hate, and survival blur. Ghost and Elena's connection deepens, but it's not a romance born of tenderness. It's a twisted dance of anger, regret, and desire, where trust is as fragile as the world around them.
As the undead close in and their pasts catch up with them, Elena and Ghost must navigate their complex feelings and the harsh reality of a world gone mad. In the end, they'll discover that sometimes, the only thing more dangerous than the monsters outside is the darkness within.
