When the world drowned in blood and silence, the coast became a fortress. Sydney Carter never asked to lead. But in the shattered remnants of Deal and Walmer, leadership is the difference between hope and extinction. As the undead choke the countryside and new human predators rise from the ruins, Sydney must rally survivors who’ve already lost everything — and face the ruthless tyrant holding Dover Castle. From the salt-bitten cliffs to tunnels soaked in ash and gunfire, The Last Sanctuary of the Living follows the fight to reclaim a fragment of humanity in a world gone feral. Bonds will break, kingdoms will burn, and the living will prove every bit as dangerous as the dead.
