The Quiet Light: A Z Nation Story

Hope is dangerous in a world eaten by the dead. Kindness can get you killed.

It's been three years since the Fall of Man, and a ragtag band of survivors struggles to keep the flame of humanity alive in a rotting safe house. Quiet and diligent Solveig, with her waist-long golden hair and forest-green eyes, tends to the sick and wounded, helps where she can, and keeps her head down. That is, until the day Lt. Mark Hammond and his men show up with a stranger: an unstable young man named Murphy, the only known survivor of a zombie bite. The mission is simple: transport Murphy across the country, across the undead wasteland, to a rumored lab with the possible cure.

As they make their journey, though, Murphy begins to shift in their eyes: from mission objective to monster. But Solveig sees something different in the young soldier. A man haunted by what he's become. If she can find a way to connect to the darkness in Murphy, her quiet compassion may be the one light that can keep them all from slipping away. . .

Inspired by the first season of Z Nation, The Quiet Light is a powerful new twist on the post-apocalyptic horror classic. Told from the perspective of the band's only female member, this novel combines fast-paced heart-pounding action, unique horror worldbuilding, deep emotion, and all the humanity left in the world.
