Summary
Molly Bennett is fiercely loyal and battle-hard to a fault, even before the world fell and the dead rose. She's spent her life on the edge-haunted by her past, pushed and pulled by a father's demands, surviving every time the world tried to break her. Hurt once, twice, a hundred times, she keeps getting back up. On the road through ruins and reckonings, Molly finds a father figure who doesn't just protect her-he teaches her. He shows her how to breathe through fear, fight smart, move quiet, and stay safe without losing herself. He stands between her and the worst of it when he has to, and pushes her forward when he knows she can.
Can a girl who's been through hell learn to live, not just survive-or is that just the way things are?

Summary
Rick Grimes, wandering the vacant streets of a small town in Virginia, vows to reunite with his family after they were separated. Rick's alone, not understanding the danger of his situation, when he's cornered by a pack of Claimers. Just when Rick thinks it's over, he's rescued by a man, wielding a baseball bat wrapped in barbed wire.
The Claimers hesitated, momentarily thrown off balance by this unexpected arrival. “Who the hell are you?”
“Name’s Negan,” the stranger replied, stepping into the gas station with an air of nonchalance. “And I think it’s time you assholes found a new hobby.”

Summary
The hounds were known throughout all the communities. Alexandria was known for two things: Rick and the hounds who were never far behind. The unlikely duo formed out of mutual trauma, and both of them clinging on to familiarity, with both of their questionable morals in the fallen world, they became an unstable force that didn't realize how feared they were until their bond was threatened.
Murial learned the hard way how to survive the fallen world, not usually quick to trust, he was drawn to the rough-looking man he had been stalking for a few days now, and wanted to explore why.
Daryl learned how to survive long before the fall. He knew that the world was a dark place, especially after the fall, since people's morals seemed to jump into a canyon deeper than the marina trench at the first chance they got, like the suicidal teens they were.
