Series: Queen of the Dead #1
If you loved Resident Evil’s lethal creation, Love For My Zombie Kings’ dangerous devotion, and The 100’s ruthless alliances… step into Revenant’s Dawn, where the dead don’t stay buried and neither do secrets.
The government promised salvation. They cured disease, erased weakness, and built soldiers who couldn’t die. But when perfection rotted from the inside out, humanity fell — and what rose in its place was hunger.
Nikol Skye wakes in a blood-soaked alley with no memory, no allies, and a name she isn’t sure is her own. The only thing she knows is how to survive. But survival becomes something darker when the dead begin to listen to her voice.
Hunted by the very people who made her, Nikol learns the truth: she was one of their experiments, built to obey and unleashed to prove the program worked. Now they want their weapon back.
But Nikol refuses to bend.
In the ruins of a dying world, she’ll forge her own army, her own family, her own kind of vengeance.
Torn between men who see the monster in her and men who would burn the world to keep her free, Nikol must decide whether she’ll save what’s left of humanity… or finish what the scientists started.
In this world, death is an experiment, love is rebellion, and monsters are the only ones worth saving.
