The Day We Rot

Ethan Walker has always trusted two people more than anyone else in the world: his wife, Claire, and his lifelong best friend, Marcus Reed.

Ethan and Marcus grew up together, joined the military together, and became officers side by side. To Ethan, Marcus is more than a friend. He is family. But while Ethan is away working, Claire and Marcus are hiding a secret that could destroy everything. They have been having an affair, and neither of them knows how long they can keep it buried.

Then the world begins to fall apart.

A violent infection spreads across the country, turning ordinary people into decaying, bloodthirsty creatures known as **Rotters**. When the outbreak reaches their military base, Ethan and Marcus must fight their way through the collapsing city to reach Claire and Ethan's ten-year-old daughter, Lily.

As the Walker family searches for safety, they face abandoned towns, desperate survivors, military secrets, and endless hordes of Rotters. But the greatest threat may already be traveling beside them.

In a world where the dead are rotting and the living are losing their humanity, every secret eventually comes to the surface.

And when Ethan learns the truth, the Walker family may not survive what happens next.
