(Walking Dead) Through the End

Before the dead walked, before the world fell apart, Carl Grimes had one person who was always by his side.

Makiana grew up alongside Carl, raised in the same small town where life was simple and the future felt endless. They shared childhood memories, family dinners, summer days, and the kind of friendship that felt impossible to break. She knew Carl before the apocalypse took everything away-and he knew her before either of them had to learn how to survive.

When Rick Grimes is shot and the world begins to collapse, Makiana finds herself thrown into a nightmare she never could have imagined. With walkers rising, families being torn apart, and danger hiding around every corner, she and Carl must grow up faster than they ever should have.

Following the events of The Walking Dead television series, Makiana walks beside Carl and the survivors through the loss, fear, and battles that shape them. But as the world changes, so does their bond. The friendship they built as children becomes something stronger-a promise to protect each other no matter how dark things become.

In a world where survival is never guaranteed, can two people who grew up together hold onto who they were... or will the end of the world change them forever?

A story of survival, friendship, love, and the promise to never leave someone behind.
