In a desolate post-apocalyptic world where survival has been the relentless priority for the past 15 years, Elena, a resilient 31-year-old survivor, must navigate a landscape fraught with danger. As the leader of a community besieged by zombie-like creatures, she faces the dual challenge of safeguarding her people and confronting a haunting family secret that threatens to unravel everything she has built in the past couple of years.
With the invaluable aid of her late father's marine comrades, Elena has dedicated herself to learning the infection that ravaged the globe, relying on the research left behind by her father, a researcher working for the organization who created the infection. But lurking in the shadows is CORE, the same enigmatic organization that unleashed the outbreak and has spent years hunting down those who may know too much.
Amidst the chaos and peril, Elena's journey unfolds-a gripping tale of loss, struggle, love, lust, and the unyielding will to survive. As she battles the infected and the ghosts of her past, the line between hope and despair becomes dangerously thin.
In the shadows of a hidden island, Aiden and Isla, forge an electrifying bond that defies their dangerous worlds. Bound by a mission, they must navigate a treacherous path where every choice comes with a cost. As they fight for their freedom against ruthless enemies, they discover that love is both their greatest strength and their most vulnerable weakness. But when Isla disappears to reclaim her past, Aiden is left grappling with the heart-wrenching question: how far will he go to pay the ultimate price for freedom? Will their love survive the darkness, or will the sacrifices they make unravel their very souls? In a high-stakes game of power, passion, and peril, the prize for freedom may be more than they ever imagined.
