In the midst of the outbreak, some sparsely governed towns have taken matters into their own hands. Laws are set in. Women forced into marriages with men and used as breeding stock in order to repopulate the world. Daryl Dixon, a survivor, soon finds himself bonded to a young, former farm hand named Beth Greene against their wills. Entering a future that neither had ever expected.

Daryl had done a lot of crazy shit before but letting her into his cell had been the craziest. Everything was just so dark, and he couldn't bring himself to say no to the warm light she brought into his life. Nothing was ever simple, though, especially in the apocalypse.
