Hiro Watanabe has the soul of a Samurai warrior. There’s only one problem: he was born 500 years too late. On the other side of the world.

His dreams are routinely crushed by Dean, a snarky busboy working at the same restaurant. But tonight, all this will change. Tonight, Hiro will prove himself as he goes head to head with the walking dead!

No pain. No joy. Emptiness.” Vowing she won’t end up like the others, Eve attempts a daring escape from the city, armed with the one thing that still gives her life hope.
