Apocalow Bind

The world is going to end. But first, Nora Fletcher has to survive senior year. Nora’s life is a carefully kept secret. Quiet, reserved, and strikingly pretty in a way she never plays up, she moves through high school like a ghost because the last thing she wants is anyone finding out how her mom pays the bills. It works. No one looks too close. No one except Alden Sinclair. Her neighbour. Her best friend since childhood. The boy who’s grown into one of the most stupidly handsome guys in school without ever seeming to notice. He’s kind, funny, loyal to a fault  and completely oblivious that Nora’s feelings for him have shifted into something neither of them knows how to name. Alden’s got his own secrets. Under the easy smiles and the effortless charm is a guy fighting a private war with his own mind, drowning in urges he never asked for and shame he can’t shake. He’s been Nora’s anchor forever. She’s the only person who makes him feel human. Neither of them knows the other is burning just as badly. Their friendship is a fragile, aching thing now full of pauses that linger too long and silences that say everything. Something’s building between them, inevitable and terrifying. It’s only a matter of time before the dam breaks. And it will. Because Apocalow Bind is a zombie survival series. The outbreak is coming slow, creeping, invisible and when it finally hits, it won’t be in chapter one. It’ll be after the confessions. After the first kiss. After Nora and Alden have already started building something real. The collapse, when it comes, will take everything they’ve just found and throw it into a world where love isn’t soft, it’s survival. A slow-burn romantic drama that becomes a fight for life. The apocalypse is guaranteed. The heartbreak is, too.
