About this book

In a post-apocalyptic world ravaged by a relentless zombie outbreak, survival is a brutal game of chance. Saff, a hardened intern doctor, finds herself trapped within her estranged father’s ruthless band of raiders. When a sudden opportunity for freedom arises, she seizes it, desperate to secure life-saving medication and escape her violent past. Her path collides with Maddie, a sheltered survivor from a privileged background who has been ripped away from her family and is fighting to find her way home. The two women form an uneasy alliance, relying on each other to navigate the dangers of the wasteland. However, their partnership is built on a foundation of deception. Saff harbors a dark secret about her origins—a truth she is terrified to reveal—while Maddie remains unaware of the lengths her new companion will go to in order to survive. As they traverse a landscape filled with both the undead and human monsters, the tension between them shifts from survival to intimacy. Despite Saff’s determination to keep her heart closed, she finds herself falling for the very person who threatens her mission. This gripping sapphic romance masterfully blends high-stakes horror with an emotional, slow-burn connection, proving that even in the end of the world, love is the most dangerous risk of all.
