The Last Whisper. The Tamer's Reclamation, #1

Kael Riven should have died in the first wave. But something kept him alive: instinct, patience-and an eerie, inexplicable ability to calm the undead. In a world silenced by rot and ruin, The Last Whisper introduces a different kind of survivor. Kael doesn't just flee the infected. He studies them. On the outskirts of civilization's fall, Kael begins building something unthinkable: a farm guarded not by fences, but by zombies that obey.
But taming death comes at a price. When a wandering group of desperate survivors stumbles onto Kael's land, his secret becomes impossible to hide. Among them is Mira Solis, a brilliant but jaded engineer whose disbelief quickly turns to reluctant awe-and suspicion. As old-world ideologies collide with radical survival, Kael must ask: Can the undead be trusted? Or are they simply another kind of tool-one he's willing to wield?The Last Whisper is a story about the first step toward an impossible peace-and the quiet before a war no one is ready for.
