Blood Cross: The Road of the Dead
In the year 1873, a dark curse born on the battlefield of Gettysburg awakens a legion of the undead. The American Civil War, once a clash of ideals, has been swallowed by the iron and blood of walking corpses. Cities have fallen, governments are dust, and survivors cling to life in isolated towns linked only by hand-pumped railcars.
The story begins in the frontier outpost of Skunk Town. Eastwood, a disgraced Northern soldier, alcoholic, and lone gunslinger, wants nothing more than to survive in this broken world. But fate draws him into a harrowing battle between humanity and hell. Zoey, a sweet ten-year-old girl, and her mother Via, once Eastwood’s neighbors, are caught in the onslaught. When Via becomes infected and transforms into a monster, she is ultimately put down by her own daughter. Eastwood is left with no choice but to lead Zoey across a land teeming with ravenous horrors and crumbling hope.
As they journey deeper into the rotting earth, they face not just the savage undead, but the echoes of human greed and dark experiments unleashed by war. "Blood Cross" is a tale of survival, redemption, and the terrible price of forgotten sins in a world where the dead do not sleep—and the living are never safe.
