When the world ends, what does it mean to stay human?On the first day of summer break, Nysteria's life shatters when New York erupts into chaos. Bitten in the opening hours of the apocalypse, she should have turned into one of the mindless undead-yet years later, she's something different. Not quite alive, not quite dead, Nysteria wanders the ruins of the city, haunted by loneliness and searching for answers.Everything changes when she encounters three other survivors-Amy, Noah, and Kaii-who see in her not a monster, but a girl worth saving. Together, they fight to survive the horrors of their broken world, chase rumors of a cure, and wrestle with the fragile bonds of love, loyalty, and grief. But when they discover the truth behind the outbreak, they must confront the darkest secret of all: sometimes the greatest monsters are the ones who created it.Antidote is a heart-wrenching, character-driven dystopian novel about resilience, chosen family, and the thin line between hope and despair.
