Daughter of the Dead

Callie Walsh was never meant to be part of the end of the world. The daughter of Shane Walsh and the result of a one-night stand, she lived her life split between two homes-caught between her father's chaotic presence and the stability of the Grimes family. Born just three months apart from Carl Grimes, Callie grew up alongside him like a sibling. But when the world fell apart, she was with her mother... and Shane didn't look back long enough to find her.

Locked inside her home with her mother Stephanie, Callie waited as the dead took over the streets. When their food ran out, Stephanie left to search for supplies-and never came back. Alone, starving, and terrified, nine-year-old Callie made the only choice she could: find her way to the Grimes' house two streets over.

But Lori and Carl were already gone.

Broken and alone, Callie thought all hope was lost-until Rick Grimes stumbled through the door, barely alive but determined to protect her. Together, they set out to survive the impossible.

Yet in a world where nothing is simple and no one is safe, Callie must learn that family isn't always who you're born to... and survival comes at a price.
