The world ended in blood, screams, and the dead refusing to stay dead.
Violet should have been just another survivor. Instead, the infected hesitate when they see her.
They stop. They watch.
And sometimes… they let her live.
Violet doesn’t know why, and she’s not sure she wants the answer. All she knows is that survival means staying close to the people she has left—and keeping the impossible things happening around her from becoming one more reason for someone to fear her.
Then she meets Kaden.
Quiet, capable, and carrying secrets of his own, Kaden doesn’t look at Violet like she’s a monster. He looks at her like she’s a mystery worth understanding. As the two are pushed closer together by a world determined to tear them apart, survival begins to mean something neither of them expected.
But the dead aren’t the only things hunting in the ruins.
Something else is watching.
Something that heals.
Something that remembers Violet.
And the closer she gets to discovering why the infected won’t kill her, the more dangerous the truth becomes.
In a world where everyone is fighting to survive, Violet may be carrying the one secret capable of changing what survival means.
