The Long Walk North: A Post-Apocalyptic Survival Thriller (The Vertical Tomb Saga, Book 2). (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798262392827)

The skyscraper was a tomb. The escape was a miracle. The price was everything.

Nia survived the vertical hell of the city, but her ordeal is far from over. With a traumatized child in her care and the memory of a profound sacrifice burning in her heart, she must now face a new, more terrifying landscape: the open world. Her destination is a distant, hazy promise-the mountains of North Georgia. But the long walk north is a journey through the sprawling graveyard of civilization.

The infected are everywhere, a mindless river of the dead flowing through the skeletal remains of the suburbs. But Nia soon learns that the most dangerous monsters are the ones who survived. From the patient, sadistic hunter who stalks her from the shadows to the ruthless factions who demand a toll for every mile, the living have become a greater threat than the dead.

Armed with new weapons and a grim, cold resolve, Nia must transform. To protect the child who is her last link to humanity, she must learn the brutal language of this new world. Every stranger is a test, every quiet farmhouse a potential trap. In a post-apocalyptic thriller where the only currency is survival, Nia will discover that the greatest debts are paid not in bullets, but in kindness-and the only thing more dangerous than a monster is a mother with nothing left to lose.

A gripping, emotional, and relentless survival horror sequel, The Long Walk North is perfect for readers who crave the character-driven suspense of The Road and the high-stakes action. The journey continues.
