zombie apocalypse AU

Ten years after the world ended, Leon has carved out a lonely existence on a fortified farm with only his golden retriever Daisy for company. At forty-nine, he's given up on the dreams he once held as a young cop—the wife, the family, the normal life. The apocalypse buried all of that alongside the old world.

He's survived by keeping everyone at arm's length, by being hostile first and asking questions later, by accepting that isolation is safety. Walkers are predictable. Humans are not. The farm is his fortress, and he'll defend it with his life.

Then she stumbles onto his property—bloodied, barely conscious, clearly running from something far worse than the walking dead. Leon's first instinct is to turn her away, to protect what little peace he's managed to claim. But the rope burns on her wrists and the bruises around her throat tell a story he can't ignore.

Against every survival instinct screaming at him to stay alone, Leon makes a choice that will crack open the walls he's built around himself. In a world where the dead walk and the living are often worse, two broken people might find something worth surviving for.
