Can the undead evolve? Can humanity survive if so? The UK population has been decimated, the towns and cities pillaged; survivors like Nate must scavenge to support his family, and Ruby is just looking for somewhere to call home. But when a bloody encounter brings them together, only to change their lives forever, do they look for answers or accept their fate? Dark, thrilling, and tragic, The Risen explores a new kind of existence where the undead aren’t the only threat to humanity.

She was born of beast, borne through blood and bile and spewing guts. It is a beast she must temper, while her humanity scrambles in the earthenware of the world of once-before. She did not know her parents, but they are there every day; in the mirror, in her burning eyes, in her strength and speed and agility. And in those dead still roaming. It's not the dead that scare her. Nor is it the living. It's her reflection that she fears.
