The Dead Don't Talk (Book 1)
8 parts Ongoing MatureThe world ended in silence.
Timothy Jones never imagined leading a group of survivors through the fall of civilization, but when the dead rose, the world he knew shattered. Now, alongside his wife Allison, their children Angela and Ben, and his best friend Andrew Edwards, Timothy must navigate a world where the greatest threats aren't just the undead-but the living.
Their refuge lies deep in the mountains, where survivors gather under the leadership of Jonathan Harper, a hardened yet fair man fighting to keep order. Among them are warriors of different pasts: Richard Atkins, a wealthy strategist learning to survive outside boardrooms; Doctor Adrian Yu, whose discoveries about the infected may change everything; and Bishop Nathaniel Ward, a man of faith struggling against the cruelty of reality.
But not all survivors are trustworthy. In the ruins of Winston-Salem, Elijah Graves fights to hold his city together, even as the ruthless Ricardo "Rico" Varela and his enforcers seize control. Meanwhile, at the church, Liam J. Johnson, a teenager battling withdrawal, becomes a danger to everyone-including his younger brother, Gary.
As supplies dwindle and tensions rise, alliances will be tested. In the darkness, the dead whisper, and the living scheme. Not all will survive.
Because in this world, the dead don't talk... but the living do.
