Summary
Mara has lived the end of the world more times than she can count.
Every time she dies, she wakes up at the beginning alone, exhausted, and burdened with the knowledge of what’s coming next. The fall of Atlanta. The quarry. The farm. The prison. The wars. The people she saves, the ones she can’t, and the versions of the future that collapse no matter how carefully she treads.
This time, she meets Rick Grimes at the start of it all.
As the world of The Walking Dead unfolds again around her, Mara navigates a fragile balance between fate and choice, knowing that changing too much can be just as deadly as changing nothing at all. She carries the weight of every timeline she’s already lived, trying to keep people alive without breaking the man who will one day lead them and without losing what little of herself remains.
