It's better to die by the gun than die by the
dead.
Nina’s life was irrevocably changed when humanity’s dead began to rise.
Now, she lives behind the walls.
The barricaded cities, erected by the government to protect the remnants of
civilization, have become a brutal dictatorship- causing the inhabitants within
to starve, steal and claw for survival. Life behind the walls has become as
terrifying as roaming the zombie-ridden landscape beyond.
Citizens trade what they can to gain food, water, and shelter. Nina has only
one currency—her body and she is tired of submitting herself to the greedy
hands of the self-proclaimed leaders.
An opportunity to escape presents itself in the fate of a young girl named
Emily-Rose. For the price of a stale piece of bread, she is set for banishment
from the city, and most likely a horrific death at the hands of the deaders.
Nina tells herself that it is sympathy and not self-preservation that makes her
follow the young girl out of the walled metropolis, and into the overgrown
world beyond.
Unused to fighting the deaders, Nina tries to scrounge for her survival and
against her better judgment, begins to care for Emily-Rose. However, when you
have a bread-stealing liability providing your only back up, survival seems
even tougher. Nina is forced to fight for their lives, and with every zombie
slain, she becomes fiercer, faster – a grim reaper with her not-so-sharp
butcher’s knife.
Along the path to a safe-haven that might not exist, Nina and Emily-Rose meet
Mikey who introduces them to a new life they could not imagine, a life above
the ground. However, this new world brings new dangers, and darker shadows than
she knew.
Nina finds out that the deaders aren’t the only thing to fear beyond the wall.
And that fear will not be ignored, or Forgotten.

A true friendship never dies.
Leisel and Evelyn lost everything. Husbands. Families. Friends. Lives that made
sense. All they had left was each other, and a friendship that could withstand
anything…
Even an apocalypse.
Until one fateful night, the marginal safety they’d come to rely on comes to a
vicious and brutal end. With the help of Alex & Jami, both unlikely allies,
Leisel and Evelyn are able to escape their shattered sanctuary only to find
themselves face-to-face with a much altered, much crueler life where they have
to find the way—and the will—to stay alive in a world they no longer recognize.
Traveling across a broken and infection-ridden country; the road-weary group
are pitted against endless violence, improbable circumstances, and the ultimate
loss.
Everything comes at a price—especially safety, the cost of which could very
well strip them of the one thing they’ve tried so hard to cling to: their
humanity.
Yet along with all the trials they’re forced to endure, there’s also hope in
the form of love. Having loved Leisel from afar, Alex attempts to put the
pieces of her fractured heart back together.
But in such a savage world, is there room for love?
In a place of nightmares-made-reality, where the living should be feared far
more than the dead, an unbreakable friendship and a love amongst all odds can
mean the difference between life and death.
There are friends…
And then there are Leisel and Evelyn.
