76 parts Complete In a world gripped by a second Great Depression, where poverty and conflict have torn society apart, Ariella struggles to survive in the midst of a devastating pandemic that has unleashed the undead-crawlers-upon the earth.
Haunted by betrayal and heartbreak, Ariella flees her shattered past and stumbles upon a group of survivors hiding in the wreckage of civilization. But trust is a scarce commodity, and the group's wary leader, Jonah finds that Ariella's presence stirs something in him-an unease, a flicker of vulnerability he'd rather keep buried.
Desperate to prove her worth and carve out a place in their fragile community, Ariella must navigate a labyrinth of suspicion and old wounds. As she battles the monsters beyond the cave walls-and the ones within her own heart-she finds herself at a crossroads: will she surrender to the darkness of her past, or fight to forge a new identity in the ruins of the world?
In this gripping tale of survival, love, and second chances, Ariella's journey will test the boundaries of loyalty, the weight of betrayal, and the true meaning of family in a world where hope is as scarce as a beating heart.
