They survived the plague. The world that followed is worse.
Devin Chase is still at his desk in New York when the world ends. A writer who has never held a rifle, he doesn't know his fiancée is already the first body of a plague they will call The Death. By the time he understands what is happening, she is gone, the city is choking on its dead, and the only thing left is the road west.
He is not ready for it. He barely survives the first weeks. Fever, hunger, and men who have already decided the old rules are finished drive him into a barn in the middle of nowhere, where he seals the doors and waits for the screaming to stop. Six months later he walks back out into a country that has lost more than ninety percent of its people. No training. No plan. Just the hard fact that the ones still breathing have learned a simpler law: kill, or be killed.
A thousand miles away, Lori Roberts is trying to keep her children alive inside a FEMA camp that was supposed to be salvation. Wife, mother, businesswoman, none of it matters once the gates lock. The food runs thin. The questions stop being answered. And what the survivors were promised begins to look like something else entirely.
Two people who outlasted the plague. One world that no longer wants them. They survived The Death. What comes next will decide whether that was mercy or a mistake.
