Lena Grimes is the nineteen-year-old daughter of Rick Grimes-beautiful, feisty, and never afraid to speak her mind. With long black hair, stormy grey eyes, and a stubborn streak that could rival her father's, Lena has always known how to get herself into trouble. But where Rick tries to keep her safe with rules, Shane Walsh protects her with everything he has. Shane has been Rick's best friend since school, which means he has watched Lena grow up. He knows when she is lying, when she is hurting, and when she is about to do something reckless. No matter how many times she pushes limits, talks back, or gets herself into danger, Shane is always there-standing beside her, defending her, and taking her side even when she is completely wrong. He cares about her more than he should. He wants her safe. He wants her happy. When the world falls apart and the dead start walking, Lena learns that survival means trusting the people willing to fight for you. But with danger everywhere, emotions running high, and Shane's protectiveness growing stronger by the day, Lena begins to wonder if what they have is more than loyalty. In a world full of monsters, Shane Walsh may be the one person Lena trusts most. And he will do anything to protect her.

On the day the outbreak began, Lena Grimes was in her room listening to music, completely unaware that the world outside was falling apart. She had her headphones on, trying to block everything out like any normal 19-year-old would. At first, the shouting outside sounded like another argument, another siren, another normal bad day. But then the noises changed. The screams got louder. Cars crashed. People ran through the streets. Lena pulled off her headphones and looked out the window, seeing people attacking each other in ways that did not make sense. She did not know they were walkers yet. She only knew something was horribly wrong. This story will not follow the TV Show.

But Rick refuses to turn his back on his daughter. No matter how tense things get, no matter what Lori says, Rick takes Lena's side every time. And he isn't the only one. Shane Walsh, already protective of the girl he watched grow up, becomes even more intense when he realizes how vulnerable Lena is in this new world. To Shane, keeping Lena safe isn't a choice. It's a promise. Then Daryl Dixon comes into the picture. Rough, quiet, and hard to read, Daryl isn't the type to care easily. But something about Lena pulls at him. Her strength, her stubbornness, and the way she keeps going even when everything around her is falling apart makes him protective too. Between walkers, family fights, and a baby on the way, Lena has to learn who she can trust, who will stand beside her, and how far people will go to protect her. Because in this new world, Lena Grimes isn't just surviving for herself anymore.
