Willpower - The Infection

Some monsters are born from hunger. Some are built by love. Former champion fighter Will Power wanted nothing more than a quiet life with his family behind the walls of New Bakersfield. In a world still recovering from the Infection, quiet was already a miracle. The Free Flesh Accords had drawn the lines: the uninfected, the controlled infected, and the feral Roamers beyond the walls. It was not peace.
It was survival with rules. Then the rules break. When an outbreak tears through the city, Will is bitten and should become another mindless thing driven by blood and hunger. Instead, something impossible happens. The virus changes him - but does not fully take him. Now Will is stronger, faster, harder to kill. and more dangerous to everyone around him. Everyone except Grace. His six-year-old daughter is the last piece of his old life he can still hold onto, and the one person who still looks into his changing face and searches for her father.
As Will carries her across a ruined America toward the last city that might take her in, every mile brings new horrors: roaming infected, desperate settlements, flesh markets, broken laws, and a shadowy Syndicate willing to burn whole colonies to capture what Will is becoming. But the worst enemy is not behind the walls or hunting the roads. It is inside him. The hunger is always there. The mutations keep spreading.
His voice begins to fail. His hands no longer feel the way they should. Each new power helps him protect Grace, but each one carries him farther from the man she remembers. And still, she asks the only question that matters:Is he still Daddy?Brutal, cinematic, and emotionally relentless, Willpower is a post-apocalyptic horror thriller about survival, mutation, and the terrifying cost of love. Perfect for readers who like their monster stories with heart, their action with teeth, and their horror grounded in one impossible question:How much of yourself can you lose before love is no longer enough to keep you human?
