When it seems: “Well, what else could go wrong?” – something is bound to go wrong. While Lilly Cole's group and survivors from other small settlements are busy rebuilding the Woodbury-Atlanta railroad, something terrible happens: a group of unknown people attacks Woodbury from the rear. The result is sad: the barricades are on fire, adults are killed, and children are kidnapped. Who attacked? Why? Why do they need children? The answers to these and other questions make your blood run cold. During their dark odyssey, the rescuers face nightmarish traps and hellish encounters with vast hordes of zombies. And, as usually happens in the world of The Walking Dead, they will be the least of Lilly's problems. For living rivals had reserved for her a test incomparable to any of the difficulties with which she had to fight before.
