The Dead Brother's Vengeance,Rise of the Zombie KingChapter 1

After the zombie apocalypse broke out, a freak accident gave my brother and me immunity to the virus—and the ability to command the undead.

My brother cared about humanity. He revealed his identity to save Muriel Maxwell, a Recon Squad captain who'd been infected with the zombie virus. In return, Muriel hailed him as humanity's last hope and welcomed him into the Bastion with the highest level of protection, swearing her undying loyalty.

I stayed outside the walls, leading my horde in circles for three days until I was sure he was safe. Then I left.

Three years later, I slipped back into the city for his wedding.

What I found instead was a human being strung up outside the Bastion walls as zombie bait.

The bait had been tortured beyond recognition. Days of it, at least. All four limbs severed. Nose and mouth carved away. A death by a thousand cuts, still in progress.

And his face—what was left of it—looked exactly like my brother's.

Muriel Maxwell. Did I not tell you? If you ever betray my brother, I will bring a second apocalypse down on your head.
