Ash Grimes had always been determined to follow in her father's footsteps. At twenty-four, she had finally become a police officer, ready to build a life of her own. But the world had other plans. When the dead begin walking and society collapses, Ash is separated from her family, forced to survive in a world where trust can get you killed and the people you love can become your greatest weakness. Eventually, Ash finds her way back to her family-and discovers that the apocalypse has changed all of them. But nothing could have prepared her for the feelings she develops for Maggie Greene. Maggie quickly becomes Ash's world. Her safe place. Her weakness. And the one person Ash would do anything to protect. Ash is fiercely loyal and protective, but when it comes to Maggie, that protectiveness can become dangerously possessive. She knows Maggie can take care of herself, but that doesn't stop Ash from wanting to stand between her and every threat that comes their way. As the dead surround them and new enemies emerge, Ash must learn that loving someone doesn't mean controlling them-and that Maggie may be the only person capable of bringing Ash back from the darkness growing inside her. In a world where everything has been taken away, Ash Grimes has found one thing worth fighting for: Maggie Greene. And she'll be damned if she lets anyone take her away.

The world had gone to hell long ago, taken over by the vampire race. In order to keep some sort of peace in our land, the Vampire Lords made a consecutive agreement. The rich and powerful humans could survive just as they had been, untouched by the vampires save for the occasional blood collections, or so they thought In reality, we were all under their control. Castles spread out throughout our land, one landing in each city. Each castle varied in the number of vampires residing there, but all of them carried a Lord. The Lords were the ones in charge in every city, whether we liked it or not. The vampires often roam through the city, making sure that everyone was in order and no one stepped out of line. If you stepped out of line, you died, end of story. Even if the rich were still under their control, their lives were still better than the poor. The poorest lives held a much worse fate. The men were to be put to work as slaves, whether that meant serving a specific vampire, or just building their castles, they were slaves. The women were to be pets. Pets were the lowest rank you could have. They were forced into cages that were too small to stand in with collars around their necks. They spent their lives in pet shops, just waiting for the dreadful day that they'll be bought. They were treated like animals, trained into what their master wanted, and punished if they misbehaved. Those who were lucky enough to live through that, we're to be slaughtered for their blood at age twenty-five in an act to make sure that our population would stay steady. I was born into this world. Born into this world full of blood-sucking monsters. Except, I was one of the lucky ones. Was. It all ended for me when I was 12, when I was taken away from the last bit of hope and family that I had left. Ever since then, I've lived in a cage, just rotting away, waiting, dreading for the day that some monster would make me his. This is my life. I am a pet. ~~~ Cover by: @mshacake
