The short answer
Begin with the candle in the window.
1. We Will Never Have to Bury Each Other
Book One begins in Manhattan and introduces Ashlynn, Leith, and Katrina. It releases October 1, 2026 and can be read early on Lantern.
2. We Will Not Be Taken Here
Book Two is the announced continuation. It follows directly from Book One and should not be read as a standalone. Publication details will be added here when announced.
3. We Will All Be Counted
Book Three is the announced conclusion to The Unburied trilogy. It completes Ashlynn, Leith, and Katrina’s road north and the series’ central question: who is worth counting?
What kind of series is it?
Expect alternating first-person voices, grounded survival logistics, zombie horror, addiction and recovery themes, slow-burn intimacy, morally complicated communities, and a found family whose promises keep changing under pressure.
