The Last of Us: Anthology

A fortified orchard. A brutal winter. A boy with a name that could get him killed.



Dana Whitlock wanted nothing more than to disappear. For eight years, she's lived alone in an abandoned apple orchard in upstate New York, carving out a life of quiet isolation while the world outside tears itself apart—ravaged by infection, war, and what's left of government control.



When a half-dead teenager crashes through her perimeter wire, Dana knows better than to get involved. But something about the boy—the way he refuses to beg, the haunted silence behind his eyes—compels her to drag him inside.



Luca Hale doesn't speak much. He eats with his left hand, sleeps with a knife under his blanket, and flinches at loud noises. He also carries a secret: his father was Commander Hale, the war criminal who led the massacre at Ironhook—one of the darkest moments in the collapse of the old world. And now, the ghosts of that past are coming.



As winter closes in, a revenge-driven militia tracks Luca to the orchard. Dana faces a harrowing choice: give the boy up and return to solitude, or protect him and reopen the wounds she's buried deep in the frozen ground.



*The Orchard* is a haunting, slow-burn psychological drama about the cost of survival, the weight of legacy, and whether anyone is ever too far gone to save.
