A Gift in the Dark. When the Slimbies outbreak began, the warnings sounded like just another emergency broadcast. A few bad reactions. A precaution. Nothing to fear. But in one small Delaware home, just before Christmas, everything falls apart. Evan brings home a frightened puppy to brighten the holiday, unaware that the world has already begun to die. By morning, Noah, Mara, and the puppy are on the run, leaving behind the only family they’ve ever known. What follows is two harsh years of cold floors, shuttered towns, thin rations, and the too-quiet dead.

Thrust into the harsh reality of her first professional job, a young woman finds herself stranded in a decaying part of the city where her workday never seems to end. As evening falls, the city’s systemic abandonment transforms into a suffocating maze of escalating threats and predatory shadows. What began as a milestone of adulthood quickly descends into a fight for survival against a landscape that feels increasingly hostile.

Bianca Vail has lived her life in control, calculated, composed, and untouchable. She built an empire from the ground up and learned early that needing anyone was a weakness. Love was a liability, and trust was a risk she refused to take. Then Luke Gray crashed into her world. A former special operative with a past full of ghosts, he’s everything Bianca swore off: disciplined, dangerous, and devastatingly patient. But when she’s taken by the very monster he’s been hunting, control becomes a memory and survival a prayer. Luke will do anything to find her. Break laws. Spill blood.
