Bad to the Bone

By NM Rudman

THE DEAD WERE ONLY THE BEGINNING.

Kaelen Thorne remembers dying.
He remembers the infection.
He remembers becoming something that should not exist.
But lately, he's remembering something else.

Another life.

Ancient temples. Forgotten gods. A woman he loved centuries before he was ever born.
And a name that refuses to stay buried.
As the infected continue to evolve, Amelia and Tatum are pulled into a war far older than the outbreak that destroyed their world.
At its centre stand Kaelen and Parisa, two people carrying memories they shouldn't possess and powers they don't fully understand.
Because beneath the sands, something ancient is stirring.
Something the gods themselves once feared.
The prison holding it is weakening.
And if it breaks, zombies will be the least of humanity's problems.
To survive, Amelia, Tatum, Kaelen and Parisa must cross into a realm of monsters, ancient magic and forgotten gods, where every step brings them closer to the truth about what started the apocalypse.

The world didn't end by accident.
And the thing waiting in the darkness intends to finish what it started.

BAD TO THE BONE is Book Three of The Last Line Trilogy, a post-apocalyptic supernatural romance packed with evolving zombies, ancient Egyptian mythology, reincarnated gods, monsters, military action, found family, dark humor, and love powerful enough to survive more than one lifetime
