The world has fallen to the infection. The once-familiar streets are overrun with decaying, relentless creatures known only as lurkers. But in the midst of the chaos, Alina and her fractured group of survivors begin to sense that the lurkers are not as mindless as they seem.

Every encounter with the infected chips away at the boundaries of what they thought they knew—about the outbreak, about the creatures themselves, and about their own pasts. Strange whispers echo in the night, names spoken from rotting lips, and actions that seem too deliberate to be coincidence.

As Alina fights to keep her group alive, she's haunted by the unshakable feeling that the lurkers are not just monsters but hold within them the remnants of something disturbingly familiar. The deeper she digs for answers, the more the infection begins to feel less like an accident and more like a mirror of humanity's darkest ambitions.

What secrets are buried in the ruins of their world? And will the answers they uncover be their salvation—or their undoing?

In this gripping tale of survival and suspense, every step forward brings them closer to the truth... but also closer to a horrifying revelation that will change everything.
