chapter one

“Leave her. She’s slowing us down, Lucan.”Sabine said it gently, the way she said everything she meant to hurt me with.I lay on the pharmacy floor with a steel shelf crushing my leg. Outside the shutters, the dead were pounding. Two weeks had passed since the first bodies got up in Harrowgate, and I knew their sounds by heart: dragging feet, wet breathing, hands that never tired. One bite and the fever started. Within the hour, the person you loved stopped being a person.I had watched the dead take my neighbors, my coworkers, a man I once shared an elevator with every morning. They didn’t scream or plead. They just kept coming, and the only things that ever stopped them were a destroyed brain or a long enough head start. I had been fast once. Then I started carrying other people’s bags.“Lucan, please. I got insulin. I got antibiotics. Lift the shelf.”My husband looked at the bag in my fist. Then he took it. Not my hand. The bag.“Thanks, Ione.”“Lucan!”“There’s no time.” He slun

Chapter two

“Sign it, Lucan. Page four too.”He stared at the divorce papers on the kitchen table, then at me. I had been up since five, dressed, packed, and calm. In six years he had never seen me calm.“You’re serious.”“The compliance office, or your signature. Pick one.”He laughed, short and sharp, and I watched him do the math. A lender with a deadline. A wife whose savings he could no longer reach. A firm that would not forgive a screenshot. And under all of it, one comfortable belief: Ione always comes back.He signed with a flourish, like a man being generous to a child. “When you come crawling, don’t expect me to forgive you right away.”I checked both signatures before I answered. “I won’t be back.”He was still smirking when I walked out. I let him. Men who smirk don’t check the mail.I took off my wedding ring in the elevator and dropped it into the pocket of my coat, where it clinked against my keys. It felt lighter than I expected. I did not look back at the building. I had spent s

Chapter three

“You’re quitting? Over one bad week?”Gideon Ashby didn’t look up from his monitor. I stood in his office at Ashby Freight, where I had been operations manager for eight years, and set my resignation letter on his desk.“Effective today.”“Ione.” He finally turned his chair, wearing the patient smile of a man humoring a child. “Nobody hires a woman who has spent eight years being grateful for a corner desk. Take the weekend. Come back Monday and I’ll forget this happened.”“Forget what?”“The attitude.” He pushed the letter back with one finger. “Be realistic. You’re replaceable.”I looked at the clock above his door. 9:12. “At ten, Brennerhoff Logistics expects a live walkthrough of the routing model for their renewal. Four million dollars a year.” I paused. “You’ve never run the model.”His smile slipped. “Renata can handle it.”“Renata has the login. I have the logic. The system fails if you route through the northern hub without my override, and nobody but me knows the override.”

chapter four

“Baby, I was wrong. Please. Just let me in.”Lucan’s voice came through the gate speaker on the ninth of October, thin and rehearsed. On the monitor he stood at the iron gate in his navy suit with white roses in one hand. Behind him, Sabine sat in the passenger seat of a dented sedan, sunglasses on.Beside me, Kellan Rourke folded his arms. I had hired him four days ago through a veterans’ security firm: thirties, Marine posture, a gaze that missed nothing. He hadn’t asked why a woman living alone on a mountain needed thermal cameras and a night patrol. He had walked the property for three hours, made a list, and started work.On his first morning he had asked only one question. “Who are we expecting?” I told him, “Not who. When.” He nodded as if that were a perfectly reasonable answer and went back to measuring sight lines. By the third day he had two of his men on the property, Teodor and Soren, and a rotation that left no blind spot on the road. I had never seen anyone build a defe

chapter five

“Three bodies were found dead six hours ago,” Imara said. Then they sat up.”The great room went silent. She sat at the long oak table with both hands around a mug she hadn’t touched. Kellan stood by the fire. Brynn leaned in the doorway, having arrived that morning with a van full of gear and no questions.“Two doctors confirmed the time of death. Fever, bite wounds. At four a.m. they attacked a tech, and the administration sealed the wing and called it a contamination event.” She looked at me. “It isn’t. And you knew.”Everyone turned. I had rehearsed this moment for ten days.For ten days I had lied by omission to people who deserved better. I had hired them and fed them and fortified a mountain on their behalf without once telling them why. There is a limit to how long you can build a fortress for people who do not know what it is for.“Something is coming that sounds impossible,” I said. “On the seventeenth, the dead will start to walk. Not three of them. Everyone who dies, and e
