    Summary

    Ponyboy is the youngest of the seven princes of the Curtis line. Born without the ability to utter a sound and plagued with prophetic visions, he is mistrusted by all but his family.

    When his six older brothers are cursed into swans, the evil deed is framed on Ponyboy. Exiled from his own kingdom, Ponyboy only has a certain amount of time to break the curse before his family is doomed to remain swans forever.

    Summary

    If the world ever went to hell, he always pictured his brothers with him, like a law of nature. They survived everything together.

    Funny how sure he’d always been of that.

    Maybe it was foolish. Maybe the world wasn’t kind enough for that kind of hope twice.

    -

    When a zombie outbreak hits Tulsa, the Curtis brothers are torn apart, each trying to survive in a world where they don’t know if the others are alive or dead.

    You have to wonder if hope is enough to keep going when the world itself seems set on your downfall.
