As winter sets in and Americaβs survivors struggle to rebuild a semblance of civilization, terrifying new enemies are gatheringβboth in the lawless badlands and within the walls of the safe zone. Most fearsome of all is the βKing of the Dead.β His zombified troupe of sideshow curiosities is but a fraction of his growing pack. The Reaperβs quest to safeguard the humans he has befriended places him on the trail of these feral undead. But he is sorely unprepared for the return of the zombie transformed by his own flesh, the Omegaβa fiend driven by something more sinister than any virus.
Meanwhile, Deathβs questions about his origin haunt him, and he is close to the answers... but the worst of both the living and the dead are rising in his path, and heβll have to cut them all down to reach the cosmic endgame.
