The dead walk. Civilization has collapsed, leaving no government, no power, no law. Behind their walls, scattered communities struggle to survive in a world that is slowly decaying. The walkers are a constant danger, but the real threat has always been other people. Negan and the Saviors held the region in fear until the war finally ended. Rick won, but nothing about it was clean. The world is quieter now. Not safer. Only quieter.

Intro
The safe house was quiet now, tucked away from the world outside. The doors were locked, the windows shut, and for the first time in hours there was nothing pressing on them except the stillness of the room. Rick had settled into a chair in the living room, his weapon set aside and the map folded away. The tension in his shoulders had eased, just a little, now that they were finally behind four walls and out of danger. He looked up when Ayana came into the room. There wasn’t much in the way of words from him — there never usually was when it came to moments like this. Instead, his expression softened in that quiet way only she ever really saw, and he held his hand out toward her, his gaze warm and steady.
