    The Woman in the Mountain

    Six years ago, the world ended. The dead rose, civilization collapsed, and the people who survived learned quickly that monsters weren’t always the ones walking. Rick Grimes and Shane Walsh survived it together. Still partners. Still brothers. Still protecting their people with the kind of ruthless loyalty the old world would never have understood. Daryl Dixon became their third, and together they became some of the most dangerous men left alive. But there is one thing none of them know. Someone has been watching. Deep in the Appalachian Mountains lives a community most people believe is nothing more than a rumor. A hidden civilization untouched by the chaos of the outside world, built on generations of survival knowledge and protected by people who know the mountains better than anyone alive. For years, they have remained unseen. Until now. They leave food for starving communities. Medicine for the sick. Fuel when the Saviors take everything. They appear when they are needed and vanish before anyone can find them. Even Negan can’t find them. And behind it all stands their mysterious young leader—a woman whose name has become almost as dangerous as the rumors surrounding her. She is a strategist. A fighter. A protector. A woman willing to become something dark if it means keeping her people alive. But before she was the leader of the mountains, she was simply a girl who lost her family. And she never stopped looking for them. When Ezekiel finally convinces her to meet the communities fighting against Negan, she steps out of the shadows for the first time in six years. She expects strangers. Instead, she finds ghosts from a life she thought was dead. Rick finds the little girl he remembers. Carol finds the daughter she mourned. Daryl finds the partner-in-crime he never knew he needed. And Shane finds a woman who thinks like he does—someone who understands exactly how far a person will go to protect the people they love. In a world where surviva

    Rumor Mill

    Nobody knows who left the positive pregnancy test in the trash. That’s the problem. It appears in Alexandria’s main building, where everyone eats, gathers, and inevitably hears everyone else’s business. By the time Eugene finds it, the rumor mill is already turning. Someone is pregnant. Nobody knows who. Everyone has a theory. And somehow, despite living in a community where privacy is practically nonexistent, nobody suspects you. Which is convenient. Because the test is yours. You’re pregnant. You just haven’t figured out how to tell anyone yet. Especially not the three men who could possibly be the father. Rick Grimes. Shane Walsh. Daryl Dixon. For months, you’ve managed to keep your relationships with all three of them completely separate. None of them knows about the others. To Rick, you’re his secret. To Shane, you’re his secret. To Daryl, you’re his secret. And you’ve been perfectly happy keeping it that way. Until now. Because suddenly you’re staring at a positive pregnancy test, trying to remember exactly when your period was, counting backwards on your fingers, and realizing something incredibly inconvenient: You have no idea which one of them is the father. Now you have two problems. First, you have to somehow keep your pregnancy hidden from an entire community that treats gossip like a survival skill. Second, you have to figure out how the hell you’re going to sit down with three men who have no idea the other two exist in your love life and tell them that one of them is going to be a father. And when the truth finally comes out? Rick is stunned. Shane is speechless. Daryl is somewhere between disbelief and a very long, very quiet stare. Because apparently, surviving the apocalypse wasn’t complicated enough. You had to go and get pregnant by one of your three secret lovers. You just don’t know which one. And perhaps the strangest part of all? None of them are angry. Because beneath the shock, the confusion, and the realizat

    The Things That Survive

    There are some things you survive. And there are some things that survive you. Y/N never expected to become a hero. At fifteen, she was just a girl from Mystic Falls who survived the car accident that killed both of her parents. Her aunt moved back to town to raise her and her younger brother, and for a little while, Y/N thought maybe losing her parents would be the worst thing life could ever do to her. She was wrong. After her sixteenth birthday, strange things began happening. Objects moved when she was angry. Lights flickered when she was frightened. She could feel something inside her that she couldn’t explain—a power that had been sleeping in her blood for generations. Her family had secrets. Her mother had been a witch. Her grandmother had been a witch. And the women in Y/N’s family had carried the same ancient bloodline for generations. With nothing but old family journals, spellbooks, and a half-understood family tree, Y/N taught herself magic. She learned what she could control, what she couldn’t, and what she should never attempt. For the first time since losing her parents, she wasn’t alone. She had her aunt, her little brother, and two best friends who knew her secret and never looked at her differently because of it. Then HYDRA found her. They weren’t interested in turning her into something. They wanted to find out what she already was. Unlike mutants or enhanced individuals whose abilities could potentially be replicated, Y/N’s power was something HYDRA couldn’t manufacture. It was ancient, natural, and impossible to reproduce. So they tried to control it. When Y/N refused, HYDRA took everything from her. Her best friends were killed. Her aunt was killed. Her little brother was killed. Everyone who had ever made her feel safe was ripped away from her until there was nothing left for her to lose. Or so they thought. Y/N was seventeen when HYDRA took her. For nearly two years, she was imprisoned, tortured, experimented on, conditioned, drugg
