Thicker Than Blood

Leisel and Evelyn have already lost it all: their families, their futures, and the lives they once understood. All that remains is a bond forged in grief and fire, a friendship that refuses to break, even as the world does.

But when their fragile refuge is ripped apart in a single night of brutality, survival becomes a desperate gamble. Fleeing into a ravaged, infection-ridden wasteland, they join forces with two unlikely allies—Alex and Jami—and are thrust into a journey where danger lurks at every turn…and trust is a luxury they can’t afford.
