    Summary

    The world ended, but survival never stopped demanding more. After the fall of Hershel's farm, Rick Grimes and his group are left wandering the roads with no home, no destination, and fewer people than they started with. Every mile brings another reminder that the world they once knew is gone, and the dead are no longer their only threat.

    Then they meet Nyx. A solitary survivor with an unusual ability to move through the dead without drawing their attention, Nyx has spent months surviving on her own. She is guarded, observant, and unwilling to trust anyone. Yet there is something about her that catches Daryl Dixon's attention. She is not like the others they have encountered. The longer she remains near the group, the more Daryl begins to realize that her walls may be hiding more than simple survival instincts.

    When the group finally reaches the prison, Nyx becomes part of a world she never expected to have again. Surrounded by people who have learned to survive together, she must decide whether she is willing to become one of them or whether solitude is the only thing keeping her alive.
