It started with rumors of a plague that
turned people into flesh-eating predators. The governments of the world and the
media tried to suppress it, but little by little the truth got out. The economy
had been in a freefall, banks closed, protests turned into riots, people began
hoarding and panicking. And then on a Friday morning, the collapse came.
After the government office where Ray Daniels works shuts down, he just wants
to get home to his wife and kids. On his arduous journey home, Ray gets a call
from Craig, his supervisor, inviting him and his family to his home where the
answers to the collapse and the Ripper Plague are waiting for him, but the
phone call breaks up and Ray only hears the word Avalon.
When Ray gets home to his family, the TV stations have been replaced with a
loop of the President of the United States declaring martial law. The
electricity and water are shut off soon after that. They hole up in their
bedroom for the night - they have no weapons, little food, and no information
about why everything collapsed so quickly.
After Ray's neighbor, Helen, holds a secret meeting to try to fight back
against martial law, she asks Ray to help her blind daughter Emma, promising
that Emma can help him and his family find the way to Avalon. But what is
Avalon, and what does Emma know about it?
Hours later, after soldiers in gas masks take Helen away, Ray has no choice but
to flee with his family. Society has crumbled within the last twenty-four
hours. Hordes of flesh-eating infected are loose on the streets. The police and
military are doing their best to fight back, but they are losing the battle
now. The collapse is here, and Ray wants the answers that Craig has, but he
must keep his family alive first.

Josh Hooper has always been a
screw-up. He's done his share of jail time and has battled drugs and
alcohol throughout his life. But since moving to Pittsburgh with his sister,
Josh has gotten clean and turned his life around . . . just in time for the
apocalypse.
As society begins to collapse on a Friday morning, Josh drives into the city to
get some lifesaving medications for his nephew. When he tries to avoid the mass
of panicked people and gridlocked traffic downtown, Josh is arrested, beaten, and
detained.
Josh and some of the other uninfected are taken to a FEMA camp miles outside
the city as the Ripper Plague continues to spread. They are taken to the camp
for their protection, but Josh soon realizes that the camp is not what it seems
to be . . . he believes terrible things may be happening there. Not only does
he need to get back to his sister and nephew, but he needs to escape the evil
brewing in the camp.
At night, while making his plans to escape, Josh dreams of a beautiful blind
woman who calls to him, inviting him to head south to join her and others. And
there's someone else in his dreams, a man in the shadows with eyes that shine
in the darkness, an evil man who will try to stop Josh and the others. But Josh
can't worry about people he sees in his dreams, people that he convinces
himself aren't real, because even though the chances of his sister and nephew
being alive and uninfected are dwindling, he has to try to get to them.

deadly as he is, Luke finds himself heading out of the city, on a new path, a
journey south. In his dreams, Luke has seen a beautiful blind woman calling him
south to be with her and the others. But there's someone else in his dreams, a
shadowy man of pure evil who is amassing an army to collect and control all the
