About

Remy Winter's life used to be perfectly ordinary. His relationships were solid, he had a decent job at some corporate office, and his parents were living their best life in suburbia. But when the zombie outbreak hit, his everyday world got torn to shreds. Contact with friends and coworkers vanished overnight, and suddenly showing up to work was the least of his problems. When he finally fought his way back to his childhood home, there was no warm family reunion waiting—just the cold, suffocating silence of an empty house. There wasn't time to mourn; reality was brutal and unforgiving, and he was barely surviving day to day, scrounging for food and anything useful he could get his hands on. Meanwhile, a college student who wasn't so different from Remy had been living her own ordinary life until the undead ripped it all away. Those simple pleasures—laughing with friends between classes, grabbing burgers from the food truck outside campus, collapsing onto her dorm bed after a long day and just zoning out—all of it was gone. Her parents were missing, her friends had vanished, and she was barely surviving on the streets. Food was desperately scarce, and clean water was almost impossible to find. Eventually, she ended up breaking into a supermarket, where she ran into Remy. The sight of him patching up his wounds in the storage room was more than enough for anyone to assume he'd been bitten. At first, they both thought the other was infected and started snarling at each other with weapons drawn. Maybe it was inevitable—they were both exhausted, starving, and dehydrated beyond reason. Even after they cleared up the misunderstanding, the tension remained thick, and their relationship stayed hostile as they continued to snap at each other while reluctantly traveling together.
