They've taken the woman he loves.

He'll stop at nothing to get her back.

Brandt Evans is floundering. Saddled with leadership of their dysfunctional group, he's dealing with problems he doesn't know how to handle: a grief-stricken and suicidal Remy, a distant and reclusive Gray, and a near-death Cade. And things only get worse.

When the past he's fought to keep secret catches up with him, the consequences are devastating. While he and Gray are on the hunt for supplies, Cade is kidnapped by a militant group of survivors spouting a conspiracy involving test subjects, pathogens, and CDC doctors.

His race to save the woman he loves takes him back to the dangerous streets of Atlanta, where not all is as it seems. And with a horde of infected closing in and the rescue mission in jeopardy, he comes tantalizingly close to a cure that might save what's left of humanity from the ravages of the Michaluk Virus.

Contains mature themes.
