In a post-apocalyptic America, a community survives in a national park, surrounded by water that keeps the Dead at bay. But when winter comes, there's nothing to stop them from crossing the ice.

This is a teen zombie thriller with a setting that is as much a character as the humans, dead or alive. Inspired by the beautiful but harsh terrain of national parks like Yellowstone, author Darren Charlton has spun a twisting tale of terror involving an unlikely protagonist. Peter is a homebody who lacks the skills his wilderness community needs to keep them all safe. When he naively allows a stranger to come ashore one of the islands in their Wranglestone sanctuary, he puts everyone at risk. The community decides he must help Cooper, a boy he’s always watched from afar, herd the dead from the lake before it freezes over. He will finally make himself useful. But as love blossoms, the pair discover a dark secret about the sanctuary’s past, and nothing is as it seems.

There’s plenty of scares, gore and suspense in this refreshing tale of a vulnerable boy in a dangerous world. A perfect for zombie horror fans, and there’s a sequel in the works!
