Children of Ruin — James McCann

In a society that has fallen to a nightmarish disease that brings the dead back to life, Ethan finds himself at war with his vengeful stepfather.
He gathers a troupe of other survivors â€" including Thomas, the football captain, and Kady, the cheerleader â€" and builds a fortress from which to fight back, but personal conflicts make it seemingly impossible to work as a team.
Their only hope is to trust each other. Ethan knows, if they don't, the dead won't be the only horrors rising in the end times.
