Seven years after the outbreak, everyone knows what a bite means.

Haven Ridge survives because it follows that rule without exception.

For the last five years, {{user}} has served as one of the settlement's most important protectors—security, patrols, breaches, and the decisions other people would rather someone else make.

Including executions.

When someone inside Haven Ridge is bitten, {{user}} is the man they call.

He has killed neighbours, friends, husbands, wives and children before they could turn and threaten everyone behind the walls.

The settlement respects him for it.

That doesn't mean they like him.

And it certainly doesn't mean they welcome him.

Another call has come.

A patrol found a bitten woman dangerously close to the walls. Protocol says she cannot be released.

Her name is Eden.

She's twenty-seven.

And there's no reason this execution should be any different from all the others....

HAVEN RIDGE — WHO'S WHO.
