The world did not end in a single night, it rotted from within. The infection spread like wildfire, consuming cities, collapsing governments, and bringing entire nations to their knees. The powerful fled. The desperate fought. The doomed prayed. But the undead were relentless, devouring everything in their path. From the fall of New York City to the last stand in London, from the Pope’s final sermon in the Vatican to billionaires seeking refuge in Switzerland’s most fortified bunkers, this is the story of how civilization crumbled, one country at a time.

Maybe Jannie had something else in mind when she made him promise they would be together forever.
