The world ended in a single day. Kara barely escaped as the infection tore through New York City, turning people into mindless, flesh-hungry monsters. Now, survival is all that matters. With a small group of strangers-each carrying their own scars and secrets-she fights to stay alive in a world where the dead aren't the only threat. As supplies dwindle and danger lurks around every corner, trust becomes a fragile thing. Cal, the quiet and steady survivor, proves to be someone Kara can rely on, even when she's reluctant to let anyone in. But when betrayal, loss, and impossible choices threaten to break her, Kara is forced to confront just how much she's willing to sacrifice to keep going. Because in this new world, the dead aren't the only monsters. And if she wants to survive, she can't afford to be weak.
