God's Country

Six months after Cal's death, Hadley Sutton and Daryl Dixon aren't running from anything anymore. The ranch is quiet, the sunsets stretch for miles, and the ghosts of Greenville are nothing but dust in the rearview mirror. The land is steady, the days are simple, and grief has softened into something that almost feels like home.

But peace brings its own kind of questions. The world beyond Texas is wide and waiting - highways that promise new places and new faces.

When a letter arrives from Rick Grimes-the son of one of Cal's oldest friends-it stirs something restless in both of them. Rick writes of adventure and seeing the south, of the kind of life Cal used to talk about when the sun went down and the whiskey ran low.

With nothing holding them back but their own fear of what comes next, Hadley and Daryl pack up the truck and head east, chasing the ghost of a promise and the open road ahead.
