The Last Safe Place As The World Burned - An Zombie Apocalyptic Love

The world ended slowly, quietly, then all at once. By the time the infected overran cities, Rose Lang Melville's life had already been fractured by loss, fear, and trauma. At twenty-one, living with her father in a fragile routine, she thought she knew fear-until the streets of 2025 became a battlefield and survival meant facing monsters both human and undead.

Oliver Kelly Reagan had learned to survive in any chaos. A soldier with scars etched into his body and soul, he trusted no one, let no one in. Until he found Rose-a trembling spark of light in a collapsing world, a girl who hid her strength behind anxiety, panic, and quiet desperation.

Thrown together by circumstance, Rose and Oliver navigate a world where safety is an illusion, and every heartbeat could be their last. Each ruined building, each abandoned city street, each narrow escape brings them closer-but fear is a constant companion, and trust is fragile.

Rose fights battles no one else can see: panic attacks, dissociation, intrusive thoughts, and the ever-present fear of abandonment. Oliver fights his own demons-his past, his need to protect, and the terrifying vulnerability of letting someone see his soft side. Together, they must learn to survive not just the undead, but the emotional apocalypse within themselves.

In the midst of fire, blood, and despair, love flickers like a candle in the wind-slow, fragile, and terrifyingly beautiful. The bond they form is a refuge, the last safe place in a world that has burned to ash. But in a landscape ruled by hunger, death, and chaos, even love may not be enough.

The Last Safe Place As The World Burned is a realistic, harrowing, and heartbreaking slow-burn romance. Told in alternating first-person POVs, it blends intimate emotional depth with unflinching apocalypse horror, exploring the cost of survival, the weight of trauma, and the power of connection when everything else is lost.
