The Dead Remember

“Six months ago, the world died. The dead simply refused to stay dead. Nyra Kane has survived by following one rule: never trust the infected, never get attached, and never stop moving. In the ruined city of Greyhaven, hesitation means death. Then she finds a message that changes everything. BLACKRIDGE. SUBJECT D-17. ALIVE. D-17 is the identification code her younger brother, Kael, wore the last time she saw him-trapped behind a sealed evacuation gate while Nyra escaped without him. She has spent six months believing he is dead. Now she has a reason to go back. But the infected are changing. Some repeat words from their former lives. Others recognize familiar faces, avoid old traps, and move as if something unseen is guiding them. One of them even knows Nyra's name. Her search leads to Blackridge, where survivors were secretly selected for experiments, and to Project REMEMBER, a classified program that was supposed to preserve human memory after death. The deeper Nyra digs, the more dangerous the truth becomes. A guilty scientist holds the answers. Her former best friend hides a betrayal. And Commander Seraphine Voss is willing to sacrifice anyone to turn the infected into weapons. Somewhere beyond the ruins, Kael may still be alive-but whatever the infection has made of him, he may no longer be the brother Nyra remembers. To save him, Nyra must uncover what caused the outbreak before the dead close in on the last surviving settlements. Because the infection doesn't just bring the dead back. It makes them remember”
