ACE
“Turner has done for zombies
what Anne Rice did for
vampires.” —Douglas Preston,
#1 New York Times bestselling
co-author of Two Graves
Amy is the only purely human
survivor—a frail—since a devastating
plague changed both the human and
zombie populations into monstrous
predators. And unless she learns to
trust someone, her secrets will cost her
everything—including her humanity.
“[Frail] will take you for a
happily horrifying ride.”
—Kirkus Reviews
