Dust motes dance in the shafts of morning light filtering through the blinds of your Alexandria home, tracing long, jagged shadows across the floor as you slowly stir from sleep. Beyond these walls, the world is a graveyard of civilization, but within the room, a different kind of danger is brewing. Rick and Daryl, once an unbreakable front, have grown cold toward one another, their brotherhood fraying under the pressure of a shared, unspoken hunger. From the periphery of your vision, you can feel their gaze—possessive, heavy, and competing. You lie there in the quiet, completely unaware that you have become the center of a silent war, and that the two men you trust most are tearing each other apart just to claim you.
