Be the hunter, not the hunted.The world ended in a whisper.For sixteen-year-old Alex Taylor, survival isn't just a fight, its a war. With a crossbow on her back and a fire in her heart, she roams the barren wasteland of a zombie-ravaged America, whilst carrying the weight of her family's loss.

When Alex stumbles upon a group of survivors held hostage by brutal scavengers, she faces a harrowing decision, walk away and stay safe, or risk her life to save the strangers. Driven by grief, loneliness, and a fierce resolve to honour her family's legacy,Alex steps into the fray. She doesn't just become a survivor, she becomes a warrior. In a world where the dead don't just hunt, they whisper, using the voices of loved ones to lure the living to their doom. Each night, the haunting voices of her dead loved ones beckon her. Is it madness creeping in, or something far more sinister? Haunted by her past and the horrors of the present, Alex must confront the darkest recesses of her mind.
