In a world swallowed by death, Ivy Blake knows how to survive. She's sharp, instinctive, and dangerous when cornered-haunted by a past she refuses to speak about and a life she's been running from long before the world ended. Secrets trail behind her like smoke. Not even her brother Ian, the only family she has left, knows the full truth. And that's how Ivy likes it.But everything begins to shift when she falls in with a group of survivors led by Rick Grimes-a former sheriff with a quiet grief in his eyes and the weight of leadership on his shoulders. Rick is steady where Ivy is restless, grounded where she runs. Their connection is cautious, unspoken at first, but undeniable. It's trust built in silence. Respect earned in chaos. And something more-something Ivy thought she left behind.Then there's Shane. Blunt, hot-tempered, and reckless, Shane sees Ivy for what she is: a fighter with no leash, no master, and maybe no future. Their chemistry is immediate and volatile-a collision waiting to happen. But while Shane burns fast and hot, Rick is the storm Ivy didn't expect-the kind that doesn't blow through but settles in.As the world outside falls deeper into ruin, and the group clings to survival by threads, Ivy finds herself caught between two men and the ghosts she's never outrun. And in a world where death walks, the past never stays buried for long.โฆ
