The Broken World Series

When a deadly virus sweeps the country, Vivian sets out for California in hopes of seeing the daughter she gave up for adoption. Then her car breaks down and she’s faced with a choice: give up or accept a ride from redneck brothers, Angus and Axl. Vivian knows getting in the car with strangers is a risk, but with time running out, she’s willing to do whatever it takes to reach her daughter.

The virus is spreading, and by the time the group makes it to California, most of the population has already been wiped out. When the dead start coming back, Vivian and the others realize that no electricity or running water are the least of their concerns. Now Vivian must learn how to be a mom under the most frightening circumstances, cope with Angus's aggressive mood swings, and sort out her growing attraction to his brooding younger brother, Axl.

After facing horrors they never could have imagined and loss too enormous to comprehend, Vivian, Axl, and the other survivors have reached safety. An underground luxury compound with enough provisions to last five years is almost too good to be true, but it is and they're safe. Finally. 

With the promise of security in front of her, Vivian hopes she’ll be able to work through her grief, her growing feelings for Axl, and the terrifying new world she's facing. But her sense of security is shattered when the survivors discover the shelter isn’t the utopia they thought it would be, which means they'll have to find a way to get supplies. Or face starvation.

And Vegas is the closest city. 

With her feelings for Axl stronger than ever, Vivian volunteers to accompany him and a few others on a trip into one of the biggest tourist cities in the world. Vegas is overrun with zombies, but there are other survivors as well. Only not everyone they meet is a welcome sight. 

As the emotional baggage piles up, Vivian and Axl’s bond grows, but it doesn’t take long to realize zombies aren’t the only thing they have to fear. And the other enemy is even more ruthless than the dead...

Kidnapped by armed men and taken deep into Vegas, Vivian and Hadley have been thrust into a world so sick it can only be described as madness. With so much at stake and very little hope the others will find them, the women know they have to take matters into their own hands. But the person who promises to be their salvation is less than trustworthy.

Axl felt like he was being torn in two when Vivian was thrown into the back of a van, but he’s determined to find her no matter the cost. But with the growing tension between him and his brother, Axl can’t help wondering if the price will be their relationship. 

Putting both old and new wounds aside, Axl and Angus must infiltrate the group holding Vivian and Hadley, and make their escape through a zombie-ridden Vegas. But the men in charge aren’t the type to easily forget, and the group soon discovers that getting out alive very well could mean the end for them all…

With their shelter destroyed and their sense of security shattered, Vivian, Axl and the group set off in search of a safe place. But the group’s morale is at an all-time low, and they now know it’s not just the dead they have to fear. 

Weeks of wandering brings sickness, death, and loss to the survivors, and Vivian soon finds herself losing hope of ever discovering a safe place to live. To make matters worse, two members of the group go missing, leaving the others to wonder not only what happened to them, but if they will ever see their friends alive again.

After what happened in Vegas, Hadley feels like a stranger in her own body. When she and Jon get separated from the rest of the group, she finds herself confronted not only with the scars left behind by her ordeal, but facing the possibility of a new beginning with Jon at her side. And she isn't sure if she wants either.

In a twist of fate, Vivian and Axl stumble upon a place that could be the group’s salvation, only to have hope slip through their fingers once again when they are met with the most devastating blow yet…

With supplies running low and animals scarce, not even the freezing zombies can make the future look bright for Axl's group. And the deeper snow gets, Vivian’s concern for Hadley and Jon intensifies. Each day brings more challenges, and every week that passes with no sign of their friends makes it more difficult to believe life can ever return to normal.

Hope Springs is an opportunity to start over for Ginny and Jon. Even though their worries for their lost friends are never completely gone, the couple throws themselves into building a new world for their baby. But with the ever-present threat of both man and the undead surrounding them, optimism is a difficult thing to hold onto...

After the longest winter of her life, Vivian is thrilled to have her friend back in her life. But joy quickly turns to shock when the group learns that not only is Hope Springs in contact with other survivors, but that the CDC is working on a vaccine. And Angus James could be the last hope for the human race.

With an armed escort, the group sets out on a mission to get Angus to Atlanta. But the world proves to be more dangerous than the people of Hope Springs believed, and their lack of preparation ends in deadly results. They know they have to get Angus to Atlanta, but with trouble around every corner and the losses piling up, the group's odds of making it alive get slimmer by the second. 

When Jim ran out in Forgotten World, not only did he leave behind the promise of safety, but he was sure he was about to meet a horrible end. To him, though, sacrificing his life so the others could live was worth whatever fate awaited him.

Having been deaf for most of her life, Amira thought she was used to silence. But this new world has dangers lurking around every corner, and without someone to watch her back, she's more vulnerable than ever.

When two survivors, never meant to meet, find each other in the middle of an apocalypse, it will mean the difference between life and death. With silence as their constant companion, and the threat of death constantly hanging over their heads, Jim and Amira will learn not only what it means to trust another person, but also how to let go of the past so they can survive this new world of violence. Together.
