Scent Of The Silence

The world ended while the cat was napping. Now, in post-apocalyptic Austin overrun by the walking dead, one orange tabby is the only thing standing between his human and extinction.

Austin has become a vertical jungle. Rooftops are highways; the streets below belong to the dead. Feral cat colonies herd zombie hordes like livestock, using bells and scent barriers as weapons. Bastion navigates this collapsed city as predator, protector, and deeply reluctant savior — calculating every move from the high road above the kill zone.

His human is shattered by grief, barely functional. She doesn't need a guardian. She needs a reason to move. And Bastion — haughty, pragmatic, keeper of every contract between cat and human — refuses to let her die. Not because he feels. Because she opens the food.

A dark, hopeful zombie survival novel narrated entirely from inside a cat's skull. For readers who want their apocalypse served with feline superiority and unexpected warmth.
