The Carrion Tide. The Last Bastion, #3

The zombie threat has learned to adapt. A terrifying new intelligence has emerged: The Carrion Pope, a highly mutated leader who commands flocks of undead through a psychic "blood resonance." His coordinated, strategic attacks are pushing The Last Bastion to the breaking point. Jarek Solborn knows his defenses and heroes aren't enough. Captain Talia Renn leads daring, deep-recon expeditions into the most infested ruins, seeking advanced resources and vital intelligence on the Pope's movements.
Simultaneously, Jarek engages in tense diplomacy with Commander Lys Varren, the stoic leader of the nomadic Reclaimers faction. Jarek must overcome years of factional mistrust to forge a complex alliance, facing down the most lethal, orchestrated threat yet, or watch the first true hope for a civilized future vanish beneath the Carrion Tide.
