The world belongs to the dead, but survival is still up for grabs.
Kenshiro thought he had left his past behind, but the undead world is not finished testing him. Captured in Bakersville and branded a threat, he must outwit a ruthless council that sees him as both a pawn and a danger. Every choice he makes could tip the balance between survival and destruction.
Far from the safety of the walls, Elle fights her own battles. Determined, resourceful, and unyielding, she refuses to be broken by the horrors around her. Yet the deeper she ventures into the chaos, the more she realizes that trust is the most fragile weapon of all.
And Nick, haunted by the cost of every decision, faces enemies on both sides of the fence. To protect those he loves, he must embrace a darker side of himself, one that could either save his friends or doom them forever.
As Kenshiro, Elle, and Nick carve their paths through betrayal, sacrifice, and blood, their stories weave together into a reckoning that will change everything. In a world overrun by the dead, it is the living who prove most dangerous.
Book Six follows Kenshiro, Elle and Nick as their separate struggles begin to converge. Captured in Bakersville, Kenshiro finds himself facing a council that considers him both useful and dangerous, forcing him to rely on strategy as much as physical survival.
Elsewhere, Elle continues to push forward through a world where trust can carry as much risk as the undead themselves. Nick faces his own increasingly difficult choices as protecting the people around him forces him to confront what he is willing to become in order to keep them alive.
The sixth Ronin of the Dead novel continues the series' character-driven approach to post-apocalyptic fiction, combining zombie survival, action and horror with conflicts built around trust, betrayal, sacrifice and the dangers created by the living.
