Together again, but for how long? A promise kept, another one made, and the ghost of guilt threatens madness. For Wren, her dream has come true. For Robyn, the fate of a friend will determine her future. Now, everything rests on one decision. Two sisters, a new nightmare. Gangs, armies, the undead hordes - they must face them all to find peace, but at what cost?

The dark clouds of war are gathering on the horizon, and to win, the citizens of Safe Haven are going to need help. Fresh from battle with Olsen’s forces, Robyn, Wren, and Mila are thrust into a new nightmare. On a mission to recruit allies, a sequence of events turns the tide against them. Now, with no supplies, no help, and little hope, they must navigate hostile territory in order to survive. Is this one fight too many? Has their luck finally run out? Everything comes to an end. But is this the end of everything?

The Safe Haven refugees hoped that they would find respite in Glasgow. But a devastating chain reaction is in motion, threatening not just their plans but their very existence. Chaos flows through the streets like a fast-moving river. The infected run rampant, and to survive, Mike and the others will have to fight like they never have before. This is the battle of their lives and survival is everything.

The reanimating virus left billions dead. The UK and Ireland remained safe. Until now. Deano and BD, a father and son a universe apart. Nothing in common. Not wanting anything in common. But today all that will change. Bedlam has been unleashed. The streets are swarming with infected and survival is all that matters. To make it, they’re going to have to trust each other, depend on each other, fight for each other like they never have before. The city is bleeding. Nowhere is safe. Will they find refuge before nightfall or is it already too late? One thing’s for sure.

Since escaping the zombie-infested cities, there has been no respite for Robyn and Wren. Now, though, the sisters finally have a chance to start afresh. But the world has other plans. They thought they’d reached a safe community. What they’d found was a powder keg with a lit fuse. Their hardest lessons are only just being taught. With love comes sacrifice. With sacrifice comes pain. With pain comes sadness. With sadness comes anger.

They thought escaping the undead hordes was their ticket to freedom. They couldn't have been more wrong. Now Wren and Robyn must face a new enemy and a kind of danger like no other they have encountered. Their success means a chance of survival for everyone they care about. Their failure means the end of everything they have fought for. For these two sisters time is running out fast and the sun is setting on the longest day of their lives. Just one question still remains, will they get to see the dawn?

The cool kid in school; always looking for fun, never worrying about exams. In the new world, every day is a test, and if she fails, there are no second chances. With her sister, she faced the unthinkable. Alone, she must do the impossible. One thing is for sure. She’ll find Wren…or die trying.

Sometimes, formidable challenges can seem impossible. Sometimes, you can forget what you’ve done and what you’re capable of. Sometimes, doubt can attack you like a virus and leave you questioning your worth. Sometimes….And then sometimes, when things seem like they can’t get any worse, you find yourself. You find the person, the friend, the sister, the warrior you know you can be.

Newly returned from finishing school, Lady Juliette Thorndike is ready to debut in London society. Due to her years away, she hasn't spent much time with her parents, and sees them only as the flighty, dilettante couple the other nobles love. But when they disappear, she discovers she never really knew them at all. They've been living double lives as government spies-and they're only the latest in a long history of espionage that is the family's legacy.

The residents of Safe Haven had fought the living, the dead, and the worst winter in decades. They had earned their time of peace. They had earned their dream of happiness. But now...now, it’s all gone to hell. For Mike, Emma, Lucy, and Wren, their most treacherous journey has just begun. They’ll enter a place darker than night itself and confront an enemy more sinister than any they have ever encountered.

In the space of 24 hours, the world as we knew it was over. The reanimating virus had swept through the streets like a tsunami. Relentless undead creatures took over the cities. Their only aim was to add to their ranks, to spread the plague that had ravaged the rest of the world. For BD, his family and the small band of survivors who escaped the first wave, time is running out. Their safe harbour could soon become a prison.

Two sisters, one nightmare. The last thing they wanted to do was spend time with each other. Now, their very survival depends on it. Forced from their home and thrown into an apocalyptic horror neither could have imagined, they didn’t think things could get any worse. They were wrong. As they navigate the city to escape to safety, terror lurks for them on every corner. The reanimating virus has taken away everything they loved, but today, they’re going to start fighting back.

Rebecca Devon lives under the severe eye of her aunt and the iron will of her father. Though she wears what she is told and befriends the people they choose for her, she spends every moment longing to do as she wishes. Knowing freedom will only come through marriage, her hopes for a happy union are stolen away when her father arranges her marriage to a complete stranger.

They were sure a battle was coming. They just didn’t know how bad it would be. A new dawn has risen on Safe Haven, and it’s the darkest they’ve ever seen. In a heartbeat, the world they have fought so hard to build has been torn apart. Now all that remains is to see if it can be pieced back together. For some, it’s too late. For the rest, there’s only one option. It’s a fight to the death. Kill or be killed. Today, fate takes no prisoners. Today is the end of their new beginning. But is it the beginning of the end?

Kitty Worthington couldn’t be happier. Her marriage to CDI Robert Crawford Sinclair is glorious, her detective agency is thriving, and her brother Richard is on the mend after a close brush with death. Now permanently home from his archeological excavations, Richard has taken a position at the British Museum. His lectures on Egyptian antiquities and the mummification process draw patrons like moths to a flame.

They thought their biggest battle had been fought - but the war had not even begun. Months after the defeat of a vicious army that threatened their very existence, a new enemy has come to town. For Mike and his family, it’s a race against time. With death lurking around every corner, their only hope is to enter a zombie infested city to find the one thing that might save them. They have fought for all they have, but is this one battle too many?

When BD, Deano and the others escaped to the school, they hoped for a moment’s respite. But nothing was further from their reach. A misjudgement of trust, a plan gone awry and the ever-expanding legions of the undead filling the streets mean they’re forced to act fast to avoid a fresh disaster. But haste and safety rarely make good bedfellows and their bid for a new start will come at a cost. Will this be the end for them all? Or can they fight on to live another day?

London. 1923. Excited about her new direction in life, Kitty Worthington motors about London in her spiffy new roadster. Granted, finding purloined Poodles and lost Labradors may not be what she envisioned, but they keep her busy enough. At least, there aren't any bodies dropping at her feet. But then a visiting royal dignitary loses his head at the Tower of London, and she finds herself embroiled in yet another murder investigation. The suspects are endless. Could it be the wastrel son? The betrayed wife? The devious cousin? The ghost of Anne Boleyn?

A string of vanished women. A noble daughter gone. A secret so vile, the powerful would kill to keep it buried. London. 1889. As spring settles over London, bodies of young women begin washing up along the Thames—women no one seems to miss, many of them former residents of charitable institutions. When a concerned mission worker reaches out to Lady Rosalynd, what begins as a simple act of compassion soon reveals something far darker. These women weren’t merely lost. They were deliberately erased.

After her arrival at that august city, Kitty discovers the cause for her sister's concern. The remains of a young woman with ties to Robert Crawford, Kitty’s fiancé, has been found. Testimony at the inquest soon points to him as the murderer. Terrified he may be charged with the crime, Kitty sets out to investigate.
