28 DECADES LATER by Airamolidrah1988

Title: 28 Decades Later Genre: Sci-Fi | Adventure | Romance Setting: 280 years after the zombie apocalypse Synopsis: Nearly three centuries after the world was shattered by the zombie outbreak, humanity has triumphed-but at a cost. With cutting-edge technology, global cooperation, and ruthless efficiency, the last of the undead were eradicated. But the origin of the virus remains a mystery. Fearing a second outbreak, strict population control and isolation protocols now define human survival. Nations no longer exist-only fortresses, each one self-governed, self-sustained, and wary of the world beyond their walls. Fortress Azul is the most advanced and secure of them all. For over a decade, it has thrived without trade, war, or need. Inside its walls lives Trevor Vale, the obedient son of Azul's iron-willed mayor. Groomed to one day inherit leadership, Trevor has never questioned the rules-until he meets Mia, a wild and resourceful girl from outside the fortress, a "gypsy" wanderer who knows the forgotten world better than any book or monitor ever could. When Mia is caught sneaking into Azul and Trevor secretly helps her escape punishment, he uncovers truths long buried-about the virus, the fortress, and the outside world. As their bond deepens, so does the danger. Mia's presence challenges everything Azul stands for, and Trevor must choose: stay within the walls of safety and control... or follow Mia into the uncertain wilds, where freedom comes with risk-and beauty hides in ruin. But something is stirring beyond the horizon. No zombie has been seen in decades... until now.

So, with no other options and her sister in tow, Claire ventures out into the dangers of this new, unforgiving world in search of safety, security, and answers to some long burning questions. The first two things -along with some new, unexpected questions- she finds in an unlikely place: a stranger who she's become indebted to. She has a feeling he can help her answer all her questions, if she can allow herself to fully trust him. Trust, she thinks, is a fragile thing. Humanity, a construct. Love, a weakness. But these are the thoughts of a survivor, and she's beginning to wonder if surviving is all she wants. Maybe she wants to live.
