Apocalypse Rising: Brains After Brains
Xenia Alderidge was supposed to give the best speech of her life on graduation day.
Instead, she gave orders—while zombies tore through the crowd.
Now the world has ended. The city of Argenta has fallen. And somehow, Xenia has become the leader of a small group of survivors: a katana-wielding gym rat, a serious ex-soldier, and a crying baby with no diapers.
There’s no signal, no safety, and no time to fall apart. But Xenia has something no one else does—a color-coded survival binder, a sharp mind, and a plan for everything.
The zombies? They’re changing. Some are fast. Some can mimic voices. Some melt your skin with a single touch. Every region brings a new nightmare.
To survive, Xenia must build a base, fight off bandits, and protect the people who now rely on her.
Even when her own heart feels like it’s breaking.
Even when she’s scared out of her mind.
She wasn’t trained for war.
She was trained for school.
But the girl who always overachieved… is about to do it again.
This time, she’s fighting monsters, betrayal, and her own grief... with nothing but guts, brains, and a planner full of hope.
