Myra has found her place in the apocalypse. She is in charge, running a successful township and protecting her family— her people— from whatever lurks outside the fence. She knows she can do it by herself, that she can help everyone, but when a young man with alluring eyes and a head injury comes through her gate, Hayes helps her realize she isn't alone. Her township is expanding fast, and they’re running out of space. She will never turn down people in need, but she knows that more people means more zombies, and more zombies mean dealing with the cold leader of an opposing township. Knox is brutal and beautiful, always challenging Myra in ways she has never experienced. She will do whatever she can to keep her people safe, but Knox’s threats get more dangerous everyday. When a common cause forces them to work together, will they be able to work as a unit, or will their differences tear them down?
