The K.A. Seger apocalypse
The world ended everywhere.
Home is still somewhere.
One pandemic. Two continents. Many impossible roads back to the people who matter.
One world · many roads
The apocalypse is global. Every story begins somewhere else.
When the pandemic breaks every border at once, survival becomes a question of distance: who is waiting, what stands between you, and how much of yourself you can carry home. Each series follows a different corner of the same collapse.

The Unburied · Book One
She lit a candle.
He chose to answer.
Ashlynn has thirty-one pills and no plan. Leith has eleven days and too many plans. Neither intends to become a family.
Their escape from New York becomes an intimate, dual-POV story of addiction, survival, slow-burn trust, and the found family none of them expected to choose.
“The dead are everywhere. Staying human is the hard part.”
The Unburied · Book Two · October 20, 2026
The school has food.
The razor wire leans in.
Ashlynn, Leith, and Katrina find a refuge where the people who control the food already know what each of them needs.
Leaving means giving up everything they came looking for. Staying means learning what safety costs.

North is not a destination.
New York is dead, the roads belong to the hungry, and every refuge comes with rules. Ashlynn, Leith, and eleven-year-old Katrina travel north with no destination they can trust—only the fragile, dangerous promise that they will keep choosing one another.
