Rhys and Sloane are traveling toward safety when they become separated in a world overrun by zombies. Rhys sets out to find Sloane, but his mission becomes complicated when he encounters other survivors who desperately need his help. These people offer him something he thought was gone forever: a sense of family and belonging. Now Rhys faces an impossible choice. He can continue searching for Sloane, the person he promised to protect, or he can stay with this new group who might not survive without him. As the undead close in from all sides, Rhys must decide what he's willing to sacrifice. The sequel to This is Not a Test pushes Rhys into territory where his survival skills may not be enough and where the hardest battles are fought inside his own heart.
