Walkers and a Russ || Keegan P. Russ

(Keegan Russ x Black!Fem!OC)

Fifty years after a nuclear apocalypse wiped out most of humanity-raising the dead and mutating the living-survivors cling to life in isolated, fortified communities. Behind of the largest walls lies Rya Walker: the hidden middle sister of David and Logan Walker, two respected leaders trained by the father to protect what remains.

Found as a toddler wandering alone in the woods, Rya has been kept behind the wall ever since. Trained in combat, survival, and tactics like her brothers but forbidden from facing the outside world, she's been sheltered from what her father, Elias, feared most-not the dead, but the living. The gates she's crossed for drills lead only to silence. The wall is where the world truly ends, and no one will tell her why. Elias built their safe haven, protecting its civilians, especially Rya, from what truly lurked beyond the walls.

Now, Elias is gone. His sons have taken his place as the defenders of their home. But as Rya's curiosity grows, so do the risks. And one of the men assigned to protect her-Keegan, a soldier who was loyal to her father and now her brothers-might just be the one who sees her most clearly, even as danger draws closer.
