On the eve of a new decade, the world watched Times Square light up in dazzling brilliance. Confetti danced through the air, the final countdown echoed from every screen, and a million voices roared in celebration. But when the ball dropped... so did everything else.

Unbeknownst to the cheering crowds, a deadly bioweapon had been quietly released-a viral agent engineered by a shadowy terror cell to turn humans into mindless, ravenous husks. Within hours, the heart of New York City becomes ground zero for a nightmare that spreads faster than it can be understood.

Caught in the epicenter of the outbreak are four longtime friends: Leah, a sharp-eyed barista with a sketchbook full of secrets; Malik, a data analyst whose conspiracy theories may now be horrifying truth; Beck, a cynical bartender with a buried past; and Rachel, an exhausted ER nurse whose fight for life has only just begun. What started as a casual night together turns into a desperate bid for survival as the city they love descends into chaos.

When the Ball Dropped is a pulse-pounding, character-driven thriller about what happens in the split second between celebration and apocalypse-and what it means to fight back when humanity itself is unraveling.
