When Y/N is betrayed by the two people she trusts most—her boyfriend, Ryder, and her best friend, Scarlett—she is cast out of her survivor group and left to die beyond the safety of their walls. Alone in a world overrun by the undead, she expects to become another victim of the apocalypse. Instead, she is found by Draven Elwoods, the mysterious Zombie King—a towering, terrifying man whom the dead obey without question. As Y/N discovers the truth behind his powers and the gentle heart hidden beneath his monstrous reputation, an unlikely bond begins to form. But when her old group realizes the woman they abandoned now stands beside the most powerful being in the wasteland, they must face the consequences of their betrayal—and the wrath of a king who would bring an army of the dead to its knees for the woman he loves.
