It has been four years since the bridge exploded, leaving Rick Grimes missing and presumed dead. Now 25, Alyssa Grimes has stepped into her father's legacy, leading Alexandria while raising her spirited 4-year-old daughter, Nova Rae Dixon. Nova, though the image of her father, Daryl Dixon, has inherited Alyssa's fiery determination and sharp wit, making her a force to be reckoned with-even at her young age. 

Alyssa has worked tirelessly to build a life for her family alongside Michonne, raising Nova with her siblings Judith and RJ. But Daryl doesn't know Nova exists, and his absence has left a lingering shadow over her life.

Meanwhile, Negan remains imprisoned in Alexandria's basement. His obsession with Alyssa-the woman who nearly ended his life-has only deepened over the years. Despite Alyssa's warnings to keep well away from him, her sister Judith, now six, and Nova begin speaking to Negan through the barred basement window. To Alyssa's horror, a connection begins to form between the dangerous man and the two little girls, something she can neither control nor understand.

When Daryl finally returns, his search for Rick yielding no answers, he is faced with the life he unknowingly left behind. Confronted with a daughter he didn't know existed and a woman who has had to survive without him, Daryl must navigate the shattered pieces of his family. 

But just as they begin to heal, new enemies threaten to destroy everything. As Alexandria braces for what's to come, Negan unexpectedly rises as a protector, swearing to keep Nova and Judith safe at all costs. 

In a world where love and loyalty are constantly tested, Alyssa Grimes must decide how far she's willing to go to protect her family-and whether she can trust the man she once hated to be their saviour 

The sequel to Bloodlines, Of Blood and Burdens is a story of resilience, redemption, and the unbreakable bonds of family in a world where nothing is guaranteed.

The last thing that Juliana Jackson remembered of that night, was glass shatterin' around her. From the windshield of the SUV, to the windows on every side of her... it didn't matter. The last things that she saw that night, that were able to make sense for her in any way, were a pair of dark brown animalistic eyes... and broken glass. 《Book 1》 Juliana Jackson is a member of the Quilete Tribe and she has lived in La Push her entire life. She was never one to really and truly believe in the legends of the Quilete, but she had never outright and totally disregarded them either. When her best friend since birth Paul Lahote suddenly stops speaking to her, starts avoiding her, it's worse than she could imagine, because he couldn't have possibly picked a worse time to do so. After going on an ill-advised trip along with her family into the mountains, they were attacked by something. Juliana could have sworn she heard a lot of hissing, as well as some howling that same night. But after she wakes up from the accident. All she feels is panic, grief and agony over the fact that her family is the one thing that she doesn't have anymore. But Juliana wasn't so sure about his so-called worse 'anger issues', having seen some of his original fits and being the only one to successfully calm him down without getting hit. The world goes to complete hell in a handbasket, naturally, when she finds out that she was not who she always thought that she was all along. {After Twilight, Pre-during New Moon} [Books and Movies] [I own nothing except for Juliana and some of the plotlines that might only apply to her, and were not featured either in the movie saga, or the book series] Started: 10/09/2020 Finished: 10/26/2020
