Before We Turn

The dead are rising.
The living are worse.

After a single night shatters everything she knows, Zara is forced into a world where safety is a lie and mercy gets you killed. A sexual assault survivor long before the apocalypse began, she enters the end of the world already carrying scars-and a fierce refusal to ever be powerless again. Armed with a bow and an unshakable will to survive, she fights her way through abandoned streets, burning churches, and the darkest parts of human nature.

Alongside a group of women bound by loyalty and loss, Zara learns that survival is violent, faith is complicated, and the past never stays buried.

This is a story about the moment the world ends - and the women who refuse to end with it.
