Three-year-old Zoey doesnt understand why Mummy wont wake up.

She doesnt know why Daddy never came home. Why the house is so quiet. Or why she can hear whispers of laughter outside in the dark and lifeless streets.

But as the dead begin to rise, she wont be alone for long.

Hundreds of kilometres away, sisters Merry and Claire think theyve been saved.

After a brutal encounter with a grinning, bloodied thing that used to be human, theyre taken in by Mr Blake-a man who promises safety behind barred windows and strict rules. But as Merry settles into her new reality, she begins to question what shes traded for protection...and how much more shes willing to lose.

In an plague-ravaged Australia, hollowed out by death, the ones left behind may find that survival demands something darker than hope.

TRIGGER WARNING: This book contains scenes of self-harm.
