The Shores of the Dead

The world as it had been ended in less than a day. An ancient evil that had been relegated to the most ancient of myths and legends has returned. The dead rose to consume the flesh of the living and only the lucky and the strong were able to survive the initial onslaught. Three groups of survivors must come together and unite against an army of the dead lead by a dark priest and his human followers who are looking to find the key to opening the barriers between worlds and turn the Earth into a true realm of the dead.

The homes and safe places that have been the places of the living are now empty and broken. Pursued by a force of malevolent evil two groups of survivors race toward the hoped for safety of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. But in the North the perceived safe haven of White Harbor may not be as safe as its residents believe. As a more human evil plots against the bastion of life and the travelers from the south are tried and tested on their journey the world marches closer and closer to becoming a domain of the dead.

The end has come as the various groups and factions race to the apocalyptic climax. As the people of White harbor struggle to shore up their defenses the Rangers and Wolverines make a stand at the Mighty Mackinac Bridge in an effort to thwart the crossing of the Army of the Dead. Some will live and some will die but in the end it will all be decided with the courage of the living on the Shores of the Dead.

It's the first Christmas following the rise of the dead, and all little Caleb wants is to see his parents again. It's up to the only family he has left, his sister Amber, to try and make his Christmas wish come true.

Nine short stories set in the Shores of the Dead universe. Broken into blocks of three, they take place after each of the novels in the series.

When the dead rose, society collapsed. First went the landlines, then went the cell service. The power died and with it went television, radio, and the internet. In all but the luckiest of areas communications beyond the level of hand-delivered mail and smoke signals were the norms. In the days, weeks, and months following the death of civilization, The Relay rose to fill the void.
