Adult post-apocalyptic survival romance

The Unburied

New York is dead, the roads belong to the hungry, and every refuge comes with rules. Three survivors head north with only the dangerous promise that they will keep choosing one another.

The series

The dead are everywhere. Staying human is the hard part.

The grid is gone. New York City has fallen. The dead drift through streets and suburbs while the living build new systems out of fear, force, ledgers, walls, and whatever rules they can still enforce.

Ashlynn has pills she cannot replace and no faith in promises. Leith survives by planning every version of disaster—until a candle in a dark Park Avenue window makes him abandon his best plan. Katrina is eleven, watchful, and far more capable than either adult wants her to need to be.

The Unburied is about addiction, agency, found family, and love built not from rescue, but from the repeated decision to remain.

The world

The route

North

Manhattan, the Bronx, Westchester, and every mile where direction becomes belief.

The promise

Chosen “we”

Love cannot guarantee safety. It can only change what the survivors refuse to leave behind.

The rules

Every shelter asks a price

Working wells, temporary walls, claims, ledgers, and new systems of control replace the old law.
