The world survived the apocalypse.

But surviving the zombies was only the beginning.

For three generations, the Ancient Widows lived in secrecy beneath their ancient temple, descendants of the Celts who devoted themselves to forgotten rituals, ancient traditions, and a strange belief that their ceremonies possessed powers beyond human understanding. When the zombie outbreak began in 2026, their leader became convinced that one of their rituals had caused it.

He was completely wrong.

They had no powers.

Their ritual had simply happened to coincide with the outbreak.

Now, however, the Ancient Widows face something far more dangerous than zombies.

Captain Mercer.

Cold, ruthless, and convinced that humanity can only survive through imperialism, discipline, and absolute control, Mercer has built his own military force from the remnants of the old world. With soldiers, armoured vehicles, military installations, and overwhelming firepower, he intends to create a new order from the ruins of civilisation.

But Mercer has made one mistake.

He has underestimated the Ancient Widows.

They may use bows, traps, guerrilla tactics, ancient weapons, and knowledge passed down through generations, but they know the forests better than any army ever could.

And the war will cost them dearly.
