A zombie invasion sweeps across a country, spreading slowly from city to city. While the people seek protection and answers from their president, he makes the least precise decision: to downplay its importance in the early stages. The fall of the last city to the new virus goes hand in hand with the fall of all hope... But hope will come from somewhere else. Rosie, a girl from the lower suburbs with a sad family history, crosses paths with Elliot, a man who grew up in the countryside. On their journey, they will meet other survivors, face new challenges together, and uncover something they were not ready to admit. Rosie was born and raised in the heart of the city, but she learned how unfair life can be at an early age, after her mother was widowed and later met a man who, over the years, revealed himself to be abusive and selfish. When the virus reached the country, Rosie was planning to study medicine at the state's most prestigious university. But when her stepfather found out, he ruined the opportunity, wanting her to stay at home where he could keep her under his control. The news began filling with reports of the virus, and everything seemed to trail off into ellipses. The president offered no solid answers about the situation, fueling people's anxiety. Not knowing what else to do, many fled the country, others emptied stores and locked themselves inside their homes, while not a small number stirred up riots and fights in the streets. By the time the president finally decided to take action, everyone knew it was already too late.

Ruthless and desperate survivors are willing to do anything to claim what's left, testing their courage and their growing bond in ways that could break them. With enemies at every turn and their bond growing stronger, Bella and Max must face the question: will they make it through this brutal new reality, or will the dangers of survival tear them apart? Is there hope left, or is humanity truly lost?

THE RISKS
"You can't tell me there isn't something here worth risking everything for." [New Adult Apocalyptic Romance] Summary: There are some things that you can't outrun. That becomes all the more obvious when the world is ending, when there's nothing left but the feral creatures that were once people, consumed now by a virus that's made them cannibalistic and ravenous. It might just be easier to end it all, but Claire still has one last thing to fight for. Her younger sister. And she intends to keep her safe, no matter the cost. 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.

He is not alone, however, as reincarnated bounty hunter Leah believes that Liam holds the key to reversing the pandemic that created her race.

Plagues
The year is 2047. It's been almost 35 years since the U.S. went over the Fiscal Cliff, indirectly leading to the world's first encounter with the undead. It's been roughly ten years since the spread of the infection was suppressed, thanks to the help of outside powers. The world is a poorer, rougher, stranger place: mandatory armed populations; shooting a zombie, more popularly known as a maniac, on the way to work is a part of life; anti-maniac training starting in childhood; and special armed divisions of the government specifically designed for enforcing laws surrounding undead encounters. For Al McDermot and his friends, growing up in this time is even harder, as they discover the virus the world supposedly had a handle on has mutated, unleashing a whole new, more dire and advanced threat. Old worries and conflicts come back to the surface in Al's hometown of Toronto and in the rest of North America, against the backdrop of an entire world in conflict. The best informed and the most talented tacticians survive, while the fate of those who aren't is no longer guaranteed by any cure or vaccine. It's no longer just an outbreak; it's war. EXCERPT FROM EMERGENCY, THE SEQUEL TO PLAGUES, AND THE SECOND INSTALLMENT IN WHAT WILL BE A FOUR PART SERIES, AT THE END OF THIS STORY.Complete
