Book One: In the first ten days of Dead North, the Mercer family watches Powell River collapse into a full zombie apocalypse. What begins as strange laughter in the fog and black nails scratching at glass quickly becomes a fight for survival against the dead who only grow faster and smarter with time. Dan, a father in his forties, turns survival into rules that feel more like prayers, teaching his sons that discipline is stronger than hope. Their home becomes both fortress and trap, strangers arrive with promises that cannot be trusted, and every street feels like a mouth waiting to close around them. Ethan grows harder with every clash, Caleb sketches faces and ghosts to remind himself of what humanity looked like, and Dan bears the weight of choosing when to stand and when to run. As the fog thickens and the infected learn speed, the Mercers face a choice no family wants: cling to the ruins of Powell River or head north into a world already swallowed by the dead. The first ten days are only the beginning. Will they endure the rules they have written, or will the apocalypse rewrite them?
