Jane and Katherine escaped the fall of Summerland ahead of the zombie horde with Jackson, his young sister, and a few girls from the whorehouse.  After much arguing they head towards Nicodemus, a free Black community where they might hope for some quiet, but life being what it is, more fighting is will be in store.

If you loved #1, you will also love #2.  I could tell you so much more, because this offering is like an opera with two major acts (maybe three).  But I must keep my silence in order to allow you to enjoy it on your own.
