Can she navigate a world where the undead are relentless, and the living hide their own secrets? Dive into 'Heartfire' and discover a thrilling tale of resilience, unexpected powers, and the desperate search for a cure in a world gone mad.

I checked the clock as I scrambled some eggs for breakfast. I expected my phone to ring any moment now. It was the first day of April, and that meant it was April Fool's Day. It was a good thing that I lived a ten-minute drive from my friend's house since Kailey might blame me for what Evan did.

My phone started ringing, and I glanced at the call display before answering it. "Hey, Kailey."

"I can't believe it! Diane, do you see this?!" She was always so overexcitable...

I pretended to have no idea what she was talking about. "See what?"

"Turn the TV on to the news. You are not going to believe this..."

That wasn't the response I expected. "Give me a second."

I pulled the eggs off the burner and went into my living room to turn the TV on. Images of people screaming and attacking one another like rabid animals filled the screen and assaulted my ears.
