Hero at Heart
(2025)(The second book in the Tales from Beyond the End series)
A novel by Margaret Madigan
Since the zombie apocalypse, Robyn Hayward has collected an assorted band of misfits she calls family. It’s her job to take care of them, and she takes her job seriously. When Father Tucker needs more heart medication, she goes straight to the place she knows she’ll find some—inside the best organized and fortified compound in Chicago.
Marion ‘Mac’ McGuire is head of security for the safest safe zone in the city. His Uncle Guy is an apocalyptic dictator, which works for Mac because it keeps everyone fed and protected. But when a fiery redhead with a conscience breaks in and steals medications—and blames him of hoarding supplies—his convictions are shaken.
When Mac learns his sister’s compound in the Chicago suburbs has been breached, he goes to rescue her, only to be overtaken by zombies. Robyn’s band saves his life and because she believes everyone deserves the chance to survive, she agrees to help Mac save his sister. The mission goes sideways, but the real fight begins when the refugees return to the safe zone and Guy issues a shocking mandate.
Robyn is furious, but with her band of found family, and with Mac on the inside, they’re determined to engineer a solution that works for everyone.
