The Last of Us meets The Hunger Games in this heartstopping YA dystopia, where outsiders and islanders are pitted against each other - and the undead - in a game show to the death.
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.
Melissa Welliver is a speculative fiction author who loves to write about how The End Of The World is never really the end of the world. She was born and raised in Stockport and now lives in the High Peak with her bassetoodle, Zelda. She has a cinema membership card and watches pretty much every movie release after wanting to be a film director growing up. Melissa is a computer nerd who built her own PC and has worked in IT and Video Games journalism, as well as a stint as a waitress and selling Avon door-to-door. As a dual citizen for both America and the UK, Melissa enjoys writing fiction that bridges the gap across the pond. She has travelled to several states and enjoys putting herself out of her comfort zone, having jumped off the top of the Stratosphere in Vegas; and stayed overnight in Chernobyl and Pripyat. Melissa runs a podcast on her love of tropes alongside podcaster Jamie Greenwood and YA author Naomi Gibson called The Chosen Ones and Other Tropes. She has published two standalone dystopian rom-coms, My Love Life and the Apocalypse and Soulmates and Other Ways to Die, and one darker dystopian book, The Undying Tower. Melissa's books have been longlisted for the Berkshire Book Award and won the Write Blend Bookshop award for YA fiction in 2022. Melissa's writing has also listed in the Mslexia Prize; The Bath Novel Award; The Northern Writers Awards; and the Wells Book for Children prize.
