She's eleven years old. The dead won't touch her. That should scare you more than they do.
Eve has spent her whole life locked in a cell deep inside a research facility in Louisiana. The doctors who study her are right to be afraid of her.
One night, something buried at seven sites around the world wakes up at the same hour, and the doors open.
By morning the dead are walking: men, women, children, squirrels in the oak trees, a bear in the Missouri woods. Everything that dies gets back up hungry and tears into anything warm. None of it touches the little girl walking through the middle of the slaughter with a shotgun in her hands and a smile on her face.
Adam was the first subject. He ran barefoot into the same nightmare, and he can feel Eve out there the way you feel a fire with your eyes closed. He's the only one who knows what she really is, and he won't stop until he finds her.
Wyatt, Maggie, Nancy and a handful of survivors are just trying to live to see another sunrise. But every road they take bends west, toward a mountain in Colorado and whatever's buried beneath it.
Eve is going there too. And she's bringing hell with her.
