Got Zombies? Call Anthea

When the most common vermin are the undead… Anthea is a professional exterminator, a woman who makes her living dealing with the zombies, all while keeping a deadly secret. She trusts no one and can't stand children. But when Anthea stumbles upon a boy hiding in the ruined city, her carefully controlled life shatters. He, too, has a secret. One that the town would see as a death sentence. The nearby settlement will never take him in; to bring him closer is to expose her own dangerous truth. Now, Anthea is forced to choose between the brutal rules of survival she's lived by and a burden she never wanted: a child she must protect, even if it means exposing all her secrets and destroying herself.
