Code Grey (What Remains Book 1)

The end of the world began with a single bite inside a hospital cafeteria. Cole Walker never wanted to be a janitor. He never wanted to survive Outbreak Day, either. But when the skies over Montgomery erupt and an unknown infection tears through Jackson Hospital, Cole is the only one in the right place at the wrong time to save a terrified young girl from the chaos erupting around them. As the outbreak spreads at impossible speed, Cole teams up with a handful of survivors—a shaken nurse and her son, a determined young woman fighting to keep her injured father alive, a lone military private, and strangers clinging to hope in the ruins. Together they flee the burning city and seek refuge inside an abandoned factory, where fear, hunger, and distrust threaten them as much as the dead outside. But safety is temporary. Leadership fractures. Supplies run low. And when loyalties shift and violence erupts from within, Cole finds himself forced into the role he never wanted: the only person standing between the group and complete collapse. In a world where every choice has a cost, surviving isn’t enough. You have to decide who you’re willing to become. Code Grey is a gripping, emotional, and unflinchingly human apocalypse novel that marks the beginning of a powerful new series about loss, redemption, and the people we choose to fight for when everything else is gone.
