Welcome to Blood Island, where the struggle for survival against the bloodthirsty undead is captured on camera for entertainment.

‘Welcome back, dystopia. Welliver delivers a razor-sharp assault on life, death and media itself. To the Death doesn’t just raise the stakes, it lights them on fire.’ – Bill Wood
‘Melissa Welliver is redefining dystopia for a whole new generation. To the Death is a riotous, bloodthirsty triumph and her best work yet.’ – Cynthia Murphy

When Bloodwatch, the shadowy organisation behind the ever-watchful cameras, descends upon the island to shoot a new high-stakes reality show, Astrid finds herself thrust into the spotlight. The prize at stake? A coveted ticket off the island. Paired with Luke, a risk-taking outsider harbouring secrets of his own, Astrid discovers the perilous costs of winning the adoration of a legion of fans.

Caught in a deadly game where the undead and other contestants close in, Astrid must navigate her developing feelings for Luke and the treacherous terrain of reality TV, where there can be only one winner.

Escaping the past is impossible when the present threatens to devour you.

A heartstopping dystopia, perfect for fans of The Last of Us and The Hunger Games.

More praise for To the Death:

‘Fast, fun, and bloodthirsty, To the Death brings the dystopian genre back to life with sharp teeth and cutting commentary on reality TV’s hunger for spectacle. Melissa Welliver is on fire, and I can’t wait to see what she writes next.’ – Kathryn Foxfield
‘Perfect for fans of The Hunger Games and The Last of Us, this is a chilling, gory thriller with plenty of bite! Dystopias are back and Melissa Welliver is at the helm.’ – Amy McCaw
‘To the Death is a wild ride from start to finish – you won’t want to put it down. Welliver is in her element and is bringing dystopia back with an epic story of zombie vampires . . . Loved it.’ – Naomi Gibson
