He's a stinking, undead, rotting carcass with unfortunate brain activity. She's a human captive, kept alive so that her vital organs can one day help sustain her rotting zombie masters. Romeo and Juliet they ain't. Gabriel thought that waking up as a zombie was the end of the world. In fact, a new world was just beginning - a world of dark, creeping horror overseen by a decomposing eccentric in a pirate costume calling himself Captain James. Five short years later and the dead have risen up to claim the UK. Gabriel finds himself in charge of the North Sector Harvesting Plant, watching the daily influx of the living with a weary eye. Having become increasingly disillusioned with The Undead Alliance and its practices, the arrival of the very human Daisy seems to be his salvation - but who would ever love a zombie? If he wants to convince her he's more than just the sum of his maggot infested parts, he'll have to break her out of the harvesting plant and defy everything the Alliance stands for. All of which is easier said than done, especially when he has to deal with the unwanted attentions of Princess - the icy paramour of Captain James himself. Is Gabriel strong enough to turn against his charismatic yet ultimately evil leader? Or will he watch Daisy die?
