One day at a time, that is how Zach lives. It has been two years since The Crisis, the day when people contracted a mysterious disease that renders the host a flesh-eating feral. Both Zach and his daughter Abby are doing all they can to survive in this world where most creatures, living or undead, want to kill them. Moving from one oasis of solace to another, they journey in search of a true home. A place where they can finally live together in peace. But out in the Wild, friends are few, psychotic enemies abound, and Zach and Abby will be forced to confront demons from their pasts. Will their familial bond hold long enough to reach safety? Or will they lose themselves to the surrounding madness?

Westward lies salvation. That is all fifteen year-old Abby knows. It was what her father told her moments before he died. Moments before she put a bullet in his head to keep him from joining the undead. In one fell night, Abby lost her home and her friends to a ruthless band of raiders and her father to the infection that started it all. Now alone, Abby must journey across what’s left of America, seeking a place of safety and peace before the lawless Wild kills her. But a pitiless winter blows across the land, and on all sides she is beset by death and anarchy. If she is to find sanctuary, Abby must survive murderous gangs, hordes of the undead, and shrewd survivors who would rather let her die than help her. And even if she can escape this life of monsters and madness, the shadows of the past are not so easily abandoned...

Twenty-two year old Abby moved to the desert to escape her past, but falling off the grid isn’t so easy for a war hero. Three years after helping the ReFounding Fathers overthrow the corrupt regime of Cyrus Arthur, Abby receives a mysterious letter from the new President. America is finally ready to reclaim the lands lost to zombies and warlords, but without satellites, reconnaissance must be done the old-fashioned way. Abby’s experience out in the Wild makes her a perfect candidate to lead a team of Marine Raiders across the country. On this quest to heal the nation and find forgiveness for herself, Abby will confront memories darker than a moonless night. Old enemies, the savage undead, and a former lover stand in her way, but the greatest challenge lies at the end of her road, back where it all began... His name was Zach, and his grave awaits Abby’s return.
