Last Refuge: Book 2 in the Dead City: New York Series — A Fast-Paced, Gory Zombie Survival

by L. L. Ison

After surviving the fall of Manhattan and the nightmare of Brooklyn, Declan O’Sullivan wakes on a lonely Connecticut beach, alive when he should be dead. Bitten, fevered, and left behind, he somehow did not turn. In a world consumed by infection, his immunity makes him both valuable and dangerous.

Drawn by the screams of survivors, Declan finds himself inside Shoreline Estates, a gated community where the rich are trying to pretend civilization still exists. Behind their high walls and armed guards, fear and denial rule. The infected are gathering along the coast, the living are tearing each other apart, and Declan’s blood might be the only thing that still matters.

As the dead close in and secrets come to light, Declan must decide who to trust, who to fight for, and how far he will go to stay human.

Perfect for fans of The Last of Us, World War Z, and The Walking Dead, Last Refuge is a gripping survival horror story about hope, sacrifice, and what it means to hold on to humanity when the world is gone.
