Kyoto, 1878. Un article étonnant paraît dans un quotidien peu connu : « À tous les maîtres en arts militaires. Le 5 mai à venir. Rassemblement au temple Tenryû-ji de Kyôto. 100 000 yens à gagner. » Deux cent quatre-vingt-douze guerriers, samouraïs, rônins et combattants venus des quatre coins du Japon répondent à l'appel. Bientôt, le temple Tenryu-ji devient le théâtre d'un tournoi mortel. Dans ce Japon en pleine mutation, où les traditions s'effondrent face à la modernité, l'honneur et la survie s'affrontent dans un combat sans merci.

With their supplies reclaimed and food enough for the future, the group at Barry's cabin can do more than just scrape by. Between fruitful gardens, great friends, and sturdy fences—not to mention karaoke—life in the zompoc is better than ever. Nothing is perfect, however. Across the country, safe zones are mysteriously going dark, and Oregon's summer weather has turned the forest into a tinderbox. As the unknown danger closes in and smoke begins to fill the sky, the survivors are all too aware of how quickly plans unravel, fences fall, and luck runs out.

With their Safe Zone overrun by the undead, taking refuge in the mountains seems like the safest bet for Rose, Tom, and the other survivors. There's one catch, however—between last spring's human exodus and a neighboring group's stockpiles, there's no food left to scavenge. They know to be wary of people and zombies, but a new adversary proves itself just as relentless—hunger. Supplies are slim in the wilderness, and living off the land is easier said than done. As winter sets in, and their food dwindles to nothing, they discover how far they'll go to save the ones they love.

Whether romantic or platonic, changing relationships prove tricky for Rose, Tom, Clara, and Craig—never mind adapting to the new not-so-normal. Being surrounded by the undead is bad enough, but with a tyrant-in-training running their Safe Zone, it’s that much worse.

Utah's Great Salt Lake Desert remains a death pit of scorching heat, cannies, and grim odds.

B. Dix's glasses, Dr. Mildred Wyeth's medical kit and, worse, her secret codex. The companions must rely on each other to challenge their enemy and settle the score.
