One day changed the world forever. Billions died. A small handful of survivors braved the apocalyptic wasteland to start again. This is their story.

A former Swedish ambassador lies dead in his swanky Mayfair flat. With his tongue torn out and placed on a Bible. Competing theories swirl. A religious maniac? A psychopath? The truth is far darker than either. DCI Stella Cole’s search for the killer takes her to Sweden. There, she discovers a horrific chapter in the country’s history that throws the case into turmoil. And then more people start dying.

Robyn and Wren have fought the zombie hordes. They have battled ruthless thugs and lowlifes. Together, they have done the impossible. But now they are faced with a new horror neither could have imagined. Stretched to the very limits of their physical and mental endurance, the clock is ticking. They thought they knew what terror was. They were wrong. They thought they knew what pain was. They were wrong. This is a foe like no other. This is a fight like no other. This is a fear like no other. This is the end of everything.

The survivors have one last chance, and a brave few will risk everything. Their fate is balanced on a knife edge, and time is running out fast. Can Mike and the others defy the odds again, or is this the end game? They’ve lost so much, but to survive they need to be prepared to lose more...much more. A long and perilous journey lies ahead, and the stakes couldn’t be higher. Final destination—Hope Street.

There is no respite for BD, Deano and the others as the reanimating virus continues to spread. They need to balance finding food, water, and other essential supplies with safety. Today, their plans go up in smoke. An outbreak, an enemy from the past, and a looming catastrophe strike a triple blow to the heart of their small community. Death stalks them. He lurks in the shadows and around every corner. Before night falls, he’ll be carting fresh souls away; but they might be the lucky ones.

When BD, Deano and the others escaped to the school, they hoped for a moment’s respite. But nothing was further from their reach. A misjudgement of trust, a plan gone awry and the ever-expanding legions of the undead filling the streets mean they’re forced to act fast to avoid a fresh disaster. But haste and safety rarely make good bedfellows and their bid for a new start will come at a cost. Will this be the end for them all? Or can they fight on to live another day?

With her wedding day to CDI Robert Crawford Sinclair mere weeks away, Kitty Worthington is thrilled beyond words. But first there’s a sad duty that must be performed—the reinternment of Robert’s birth mother at Castle Rutledge who is to be buried alongside her husband, the former marquis. But on the day of the funeral, things don’t go according to plan. The vicar’s gone missing; the organist is drunk as a judge. And then there’s the body in the sanctuary. Not the one you’d expect.

Known to millions as the imperious matriarch of Bridgerton's court, Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz was still a teenager when she was chosen to be the bride of King George III. Shy, innocent, and sheltered, the orphaned princess and her groom carried the hopes of a nation on their shoulders. The unassuming young couple symbolized a new beginning, but soon those hopes began to sour. Charlotte and George's marriage lasted for nearly sixty years and produced more than a dozen children, but it was beset by unrest at home, war in the colonies, and the king's encroaching madness.

Is this the final chapter or is it a new beginning? Since arriving at the priory, the world outside has changed. For Mike, Emma and the rest of the Safe Haven refugees, their chances of returning home seem to have all but evaporated. Now facing a fearsome army far greater than that of Olsen’s, will they give up their dream and try to find some small corner in which to live out the rest of their days? Or will they fight like they’ve never fought before?

An overwhelming enemy force. A surprise attack. Now, a darkness has fallen over the land, the likes of which has never been seen before. Most have fled. Only a handful remain. For some, this is the longest night they have ever lived. For others, there will be no dawn. Can Safe Haven survive? Or is this the end of everything?

At first, it seemed like a massive social media-based prank to cause panic on the streets. Now, fake news has become real news. The dead are rising and attacking the living. They're spreading like a plague infecting every village, town and city. Most countries have already fallen silent, and today will be the longest day of Andy Beck's life.

Still reeling from a battle that left their town in tatters, the residents of Safe Haven believe starting over is going to be the hardest challenge ahead of them. They’re wrong. Rebuilding their settlement will be painstaking and fraught with danger. It will test their strength and the very bonds that hold them together, but it will be nothing compared to what comes next.

They were sure a battle was coming. They just didn’t know how bad it would be. A new dawn has risen on Safe Haven, and it’s the darkest they’ve ever seen. In a heartbeat, the world they have fought so hard to build has been torn apart. Now all that remains is to see if it can be pieced back together. For some, it’s too late. For the rest, there’s only one option. It’s a fight to the death. Kill or be killed. Today, fate takes no prisoners. Today is the end of their new beginning. But is it the beginning of the end?

The reanimating virus left billions dead. The UK and Ireland remained safe. Until now. Deano and BD, a father and son a universe apart. Nothing in common. Not wanting anything in common. But today all that will change. Bedlam has been unleashed. The streets are swarming with infected and survival is all that matters. To make it, they’re going to have to trust each other, depend on each other, fight for each other like they never have before. The city is bleeding. Nowhere is safe. Will they find refuge before nightfall or is it already too late? One thing’s for sure.

Since escaping the zombie-infested cities, there has been no respite for Robyn and Wren. Now, though, the sisters finally have a chance to start afresh. But the world has other plans. They thought they’d reached a safe community. What they’d found was a powder keg with a lit fuse. Their hardest lessons are only just being taught. With love comes sacrifice. With sacrifice comes pain. With pain comes sadness. With sadness comes anger.

Eiric won the battle, but Lyssandra plans on winning the war. With her bond broken, her magic builds, threatening to consume her—a price she is willing to pay if it means she can bring Eiric down with her. Only not everything is as it seems. She had thought the Ivangard witches were villains, not victims. When acolytes start dying in mysterious ways, Lyss is torn between helping them or taking advantage of their weaknesses.

Lyssandra’s life is a lie. As a hunter of the Helius Order, she’s dedicated to slaying vampires and protecting the innocent. But she’s also a vampire’s human servant. If her secret comes out, her own order will execute her. When she finds Asher, she’ll cut out his heart for tying her to him, even if he only did it to save her. Even if it kills her too. But when a young girl is found dead, Lyssandra’s mission is derailed. In the gaping hole where the girl’s heart once was, lies a single red rose. Lyssandra has seen the signature before.

They escaped the cities. They lived through the storm. But there are more dark clouds forming on the horizon for Wren and Robyn. The undead have made escape impossible. Ruthless gangs patrol the highways, and danger lurks in the shadows. A new friend and a new settlement and things are looking up, though all is not what it seems.

Winter has arrived, and it will wreak havoc on Redemption. Lives will be lost. Hearts will be broken. But it’s nothing compared to the storm that’s coming. Dark clouds of a different kind are gathering on the horizon, and with them comes an enemy of unimaginable power. There’s a war on its way. When it’s over, only one side will be left standing.
