In a world shattered by infection and loss, Joel Miller is a man built from the ruins—scarred, hardened, and haunted by everything he’s had to survive. Twenty years after the fall of civilization, Joel carves out a fragile peace in the fortified town of Jackson, Wyoming—a rare haven in the chaos. Once a ruthless smuggler and killer, now a guarded protector, Joel lives by simple rules: keep your circle small, your head down, and your gun loaded.
