the Lazarus Plague: Book 2 Ashes in Gulf

The world didn't end clean. It rotted.Solomon, Mia, and Leo have clawed their way down the ravaged Gulf Coast, surviving on fumes, grief, and stubborn hope. But the shoreline offers no mercy-only dead towns, rising tides, and the drowned things that crawl out of the surf hungry for the living.Food is scarce. Safety is a myth. Trust is the most dangerous gamble left.When the Gulf pushes them toward a desperate refuge on the water, Sol learns the coast hides more than the infected. There are worse things than the dead out here: the living who have learned to thrive in the ruin, the hunters who stalk the weak, and the dark markets built on fear and flesh.Every step forward drags new ghosts behind him. Every choice costs more than he can afford. And the deeper they move into the broken South, the more Sol realizes the truth: Some monsters wash in with the tide. Others build kingdoms from the wreckage.Ashes in the Gulf is a brutal, atmospheric continuation of The Lazarus Plague, blending Southern-fried apocalypse with raw human survival. No heroes. No clean battles. Just blood, mistakes, and the vicious hope that refuses to die.Perfect for fans of The Last of Us, The Road, and bleak, character-driven post-apocalyptic horror.
