When the world fell apart, all Rachel could think about was him.
The infection spread fast-turning friends, neighbors, and strangers into the walking dead. Amid the chaos, Rachel and her fiancé, Riley, made a promise: If we're ever separated, meet at the farmhouse.
Now, miles of devastation lie between them. The roads are broken, the cities silent, and the dead are everywhere. But Rachel refuses to give up hope. With nothing left but a backpack and a memory, she begins the long, dangerous journey toward the only place that still feels like home.
As the world rots around her, Rachel discovers that surviving the apocalypse isn't the hardest part-it's surviving without the one she loves

Now, with a handful of unstable and unlikely survivors, Marcus and Ed must do whatever it takes to stay alive within the valley, because it seems that the military has instituted a quarantine, and they won't be letting them out anytime soon...Complete
