In Wranglestone, Peter's decision to let a stranger ashore endangers his community and leads him on a journey of love and dark discoveries.
In a post-apocalyptic America, the community of Wranglestone thrives within a national park, isolated by water that keeps the Dead at bay. However, winter poses a grave threat, as the ice becomes a pathway for the undead. When Peter, a homebody and protector of the sanctuary, unwittingly invites danger by allowing a stranger to land, he is compelled to leave the safety of his home and assist rancher Cooper in a desperate mission to drive the Dead away before the lake freezes over.
As Peter and Cooper work together, a tender romance begins to blossom, providing solace amid the chaos. Yet, their growing connection is overshadowed by a dark secret lurking within the sanctuary's past. This revelation not only challenges their understanding of their world but also tests the strength of their newfound love. The journey they embark on is fraught with danger, forcing them to confront both external threats and internal fears.
Wranglestone is a captivating debut that intertwines thrilling action with a poignant love story. It delves into themes of survival, identity, and the complexities of love in a world where the dead walk among the living. With its immersive world-building and emotional depth, this novel is a must-read for fans of zombie fiction and heartfelt narratives alike.
