The world ended while they were gone.
For Zoey, the remote mountain trip was meant to be a break-time away with her younger sister Hannah, brother George, and a few close friends. But when they return to civilization three weeks later, everything is gone.
Towns are empty. The streets are silent. And the infected-called Empties for their black, lifeless eyes-roam what's left of humanity.
Zoey is thrust into a brutal new world, forced to protect the people she loves as society crumbles around them. After finding refuge in a walled settlement called Edgewater, hope flickers... but not everything inside those walls is as it seems. Secrets linger behind locked doors. People vanish in the night. And Zoey begins to suspect the real threat may not be outside.
As her sister's condition worsens and the infected grow more coordinated, Zoey faces a terrifying question:
What if survival means more than just staying alive?
Dead Horizon is the first book in a gripping apocalyptic horror series filled with danger, heart, and impossible choices-where the line between human and monster is dangerously thin.
