Heroes of the Apocalypse is a seven-book series by Baileigh Higgins published between 2022 and 2024. The books follow a group of fighters defending the last remnants of human civilization. Trial by Fire, End of Watch, Wake the Dead, Hold the Line, From the Ashes, Turn the Tide, and Guard the Gates trace the progression from desperate defense to taking the fight to the undead.
The title progression tells its own story of escalation: early survival gives way to organized resistance. Higgins brings her experience from earlier zombie series to create a more action-oriented take on the genre, with characters who are warriors rather than ordinary survivors.
