Ashes and Blue Eyes

Maeve Hartley never knew what love was supposed to feel like. Cold homes, colder parents, and a world that turned to ash left her quiet, guarded, and alone. When she's found outside the prison gates-wounded and barely speaking-the Grimes group takes her in.

Carl Grimes is just a boy trying not to become a monster. In Maeve, he sees something he recognizes: silence that isn't weakness. Pain without words. Together, in the wreckage of a dying world, they find a connection deeper than survival.

From the prison walls to Alexandria's broken promises, through heartbreak and horror, Carl and Maeve grow-together and apart. But even in a world on fire, love can still bloom.

And sometimes, it begins with a quiet girl...
and a boy with blue eyes.
