A Grave New World Order
The end of the world didn't start with a bomb. It started with an innocent picture.
When a parent returns from a business trip with more than just souvenirs, Roosevelt Elementary becomes ground zero for an outbreak that spreads faster than anyone can comprehend. The infected don't shuffle. They sprint. They don't groan. They roar. And they don't stop until they've torn apart everything and everyone in their path.
Kindergarten teacher Jenna Fritz has spent her career protecting and molding young children's minds. Now, on the last day of school, she faces an impossible choice: flee for her own survival or barricade herself inside with twenty-one six-year-olds who are counting on her to keep them safe. As the school devolves into chaos and the body count rises, Jenna discovers that the monsters outside are nothing compared to the weight of the decisions she must make inside.
Officer Johnny Snarks is the third responder to the school, but by the time he arrives, the first two units are dead, or worse. What he witnesses at Roosevelt Elementary shatters everything he believed about the world, about humanity, and about his own capacity to survive. With his ex-partner's daughter, a handful of traumatized survivors, and a stolen police van, Johnny begins a desperate journey toward the only safe haven left: the National Guard Armory.
But safety is an illusion.
As the infected multiply and the living turn on each other, a small group of survivors must confront the darkest truth of the apocalypse: in a world where the dead hunt the living, the greatest threat is what we're willing to sacrifice to stay alive. The world ended. But the fight to stay alive has just begun.
Heartbreaking. Unflinching. Ultimately hopeful.
