One Yellow Eye: A Novel

British scientist Kesta Shelley searches for a cure after a devastating epidemic sweeps through London, while secretly harboring her infected husband, Tim, hidden in her home. Kesta has devoted her life to her work at a microscope, but her relationship with Tim changed everything—he became her closest companion until he contracted the perplexing virus that ravaged the city. Though the government has eliminated all known infected individuals, Kesta uses hospital resources to keep Tim alive in secret. She balances her days reviewing biopsy slides with evenings caring for him, but his condition deteriorates. The sedatives lose effectiveness, and his violent episodes intensify. Her colleagues notice her declining appearance and erratic behavior; she drinks heavily and has stopped attending mandatory ZARG (Zombie Apocalypse Recovery Group) meetings. Rumors circulate about a top-secret laboratory developing a cure, and Kesta views recruitment as her only hope. As she races against time, she faces mounting pressure: can she save Tim before his existence is discovered, or will his presence trigger another outbreak?
