Books like Boneshaker by Cherie Priest


During the early Civil War era, rumors of Klondike gold drove prospectors to the Pacific Northwest, prompting Russian mining interests to commission inventor Leviticus Blue. He engineered the Bone‑Shaking Drill Engine to break through Alaska’s ice, but the first test tore apart downtown Seattle and released a blight gas that turned anyone who breathed it into the living dead. Sixteen years later, the city is sealed behind a wall, and the city’s last survivor, Blue’s widow Briar Wilkes, struggles to support her teenage son Ezekiel. When Ezekiel secretly seeks to rewrite the past, he descends beneath the wall into a maze of undead, air pirates, criminal overlords, and desperate refugees, and only Briar can escort him back to safety.
