Dead School Days

The once elite halls of Sterling High Academy also known as SHA are violently transformed into a brutal quarantine zone for the undead, all because of the accidental release of Compound X-27-a viral mutagen-that instantly converts students into ravenous, super-strong infected. The Main 11 form an unlikely, resilient collection of survivors defined by their shared need to escape the school, where they face both the monstrous infected and the crushing reality of the military's lethal containment protocol. They are forced to quickly discard their privileged pasts and rely on their wits and their newfound, tenuous alliances to navigate the bloody campus, helping fellow survivors they previously despised, as they strive to reach the one point of potential freedom. The Main 11 includes the composed and accountable Rutherford class president, Angela Dovaire; the hot-headed and protective Rei Huang; his twin sister, the sweet yet equally as deadly Lacey Huang; the strategic and top student Crystal Gonzales; the kind and thrifty Kayra Sohyun; the artistic and beautiful Hanna Suarez; the strong and mighty Ellie Ushiro; the quiet yet observant Anna Sawyer; the organized and funny Eloisa Davidson; the quick and courageous Gianna Michaels; and the crafty and pragmatic Cassandra Enrique.

Their perilous journey is constantly complicated by the fact that one among the Main 11 possesses a mysterious, evolving ability that could either save the group from the horrors of the academy or expose them to a terrifying new danger. With the odds stacked against them and a perilous power simmering within someone in their squad, the central question remains: Can this fractured group survive the outside threat and stick together, or will this strange, new discovery destroy them first?
