Mercy Before Monsters 2 : The New Beginning

The war is over.
The dead are no longer humanity's greatest enemy.
Peace... is.
One year and six months after defeating Negan, the communities have flourished beyond anyone's expectations.
Alexandria grows stronger.
Hilltop feeds thousands.
The Kingdom prospers.
Elysium has become the largest and safest settlement in Virginia-a sanctuary where children laugh, schools thrive, hospitals save lives, and no one is abandoned.
Rick Grimes and Valeriandria Elle Isolde Marquez are finally married, raising Judith, Lucian and Carl together while helping build a future they once believed impossible.
But peace creates new problems.
Old enemies become uneasy allies.
New leaders hunger for power.
Whispers of a mysterious organization beyond Virginia begin spreading across survivor networks-an army unlike anything they've ever faced.
Unlike Negan...
These people don't rule through fear.
They erase entire communities without leaving a single body behind.
As the world grows larger, Rick and Elle discover an even darker truth:
The apocalypse wasn't the end of civilization.
It was only the beginning of something far worse.
Because monsters don't always walk.
Sometimes...
They wear human faces.

"We survived the monsters outside the walls.
Now we must survive the ones hiding behind smiles."
