When the red rains ended the world, the undead weren't the only monsters left behind.
Zoe McCallister and her found family have built a fragile refuge in the well-stocked farmhouse of Benson Meyer, a man as enigmatic as the plague consuming the world outside. But as Zoe and Oliver begin to unravel the truth about Ben, they realize he's hiding more than they ever imagined. Meanwhile, in River City, a new threat is gathering. A gang of violent ex-convicts sets its sights on Unsicker Road, seeing the farmhouse as their kingdom and Zoe's people as nothing more than an obstacle in their path.
As if the living weren't enough to fear, the infected are changing-evolving into something far worse. And when an old enemy, one they thought dead and gone, returns-not as a mindless monster, but as something far more terrifying-the battle for Unsicker Road becomes a fight against something bullets can't stop. With secrets surfacing and danger closing in from all sides, Zoe and the others must uncover the truth about the parasite before the past-and the dead-consume them all. For fans of
The Last of Us
and
The Girl With All The Gifts
, this third instalment of the Wrack & Ruin series is a chilling tale of horror, survival, and the secrets that refuse to stay buried.
