Once the chief researcher of the Ark Lab, Miles now leads the Starlight Coexistence Zone, a sanctuary where humans and harmless undead live side by side. But his greatest challenge isn't politics or war. It's raising his daughter, Elara: the Zombie Queen. Infected but not lost, Elara commands the very forces that terrify humanity. As enemies from the Three Zones close in and the Ark's dark legacy resurfaces, Miles must protect the one girl who could either save the world, or end it.
