Beneath Broken Skies
It has been thirty days since Alyssa Grimes and Daryl Dixon left Alexandria behind for the Commonwealth, a sprawling community of 50,000 people offering hope and stability. Together with RJ, Judith, and their daughter Nova Rae, they've embarked on a journey to build a new life. But the strain of their fractured relationship makes the transition anything but easy. While Alyssa and Daryl try to provide a sense of normalcy for their family, the Commonwealth's polished, too-perfect society stirs deep suspicions in Alyssa. With rigid rules, social divisions, and echoes of the old world, she begins to question if this community is as safe as it seems. When both Alyssa and Daryl are drafted into the Commonwealth's military, tensions rise to a breaking point. Forced into a role she never wanted, Alyssa must navigate her growing unease with the leadership, protect her family, and grapple with her own secrets. As cracks form in the Commonwealth's carefully curated facade, Alyssa faces a question that threatens to unravel everything she's fought for: Is this new world truly salvation, or is it just another illusion of safety? From the author of Of Blood and Burdens comes a powerful sequel about survival, trust, and the lengths one woman will go to protect the ones she loves-no matter the cost.Complete
