At Greenleaf Survival Camp, by late July the summer has settled into routine — until the power dies at 8:45 p.m. without warning. Thirty seconds later, so does a counselor — and whatever crawls back through the broken window wearing his shirt isn't him anymore. Kate doesn't panic. She already knows where every exit in the room is. But the infected hunt by sound, and camp has turned into one long chain of screaming, breaking glass, and clicking jaws between her and the fence line. Adam isn't running for the gate. His sister is locked in a cabin on the other side of camp, and he's the only one going back for her. When their paths collide at a chain-link fence with two of the infected closing in from both sides, Kate and Adam strike the only deal that makes sense: his keys for her read on which shadows are moving and which ones aren't. Neither trusts the other. Neither has a better option. The Fall of the First Night is a free, dual-POV Upper YA survival horror novella — fast, sound-hunting infected, a found-family bond built out of necessity, and zero safe rooms. Start here free, then follow West and Sadie into The Fall of the World, Book One of the main Fall of Us series — same outbreak, same infected. West and Sadie don't trust each other. The end of the world isn't going to give them a choice.
