Description
When the outbreak ends, Griffin must atone for what he's done in the name of hunger.
Griffin King is an ordinary high school senior dealing with typical teenage issues: a bratty little sister, overbearing parents, an obnoxious best friend, and the unrequited love of his long-time crush. But when a virus chews through a large portion of the population, Griffin soon finds himself on the wrong side of a horror story. After being attacked by an infected, he loses his identity-his only desire is to consume human flesh.
After months of the infected roaming the broken landscape of the city, a cure is found and a mass injection of antiserum is administered to the horde. Griffin finds himself one of the Altered, a small group of "ex-infecteds" who have been cured, but irreparably changed. Now he must learn how to restart his life in an angry post-apocalyptic society where race, gender, and religion don't matter anymore. Welcome to the new world. A world where people like him-people altered like him-are the minority.

Person
Maria DeVivo writes horror and dark fantasy for both a YA and adult audience. Each of her series has been Amazon best-sellers and have won multiple awards since 2012. When not writing, she teaches Language Arts and Journalism to middle school students in Florida. A lover of all things dark and demented, the worlds she creates are fantastical and immersive. Get swept away in the lands of elves, zombies, angels, demons, and witches (but not all in the same place). Maria takes great pleasure in warping the comfort factor in her readers' minds - just when you think you've reached a safe space in her stories, she snaps you back into her twisted reality.
