Zombie hoardes are still overrunning London, and the silence from the government and military is deafening. Realizing that they're truly on their own, and that any fellow survivors might well be an even greater threat than the zombies, Daphne and her team at the hotel have to work out how they're going to keep themselves fed.

And then Duke comes up with an idea.

Buckingham Palace is visible from the hotel's roof, and Duke figures that no-one else in London is likely to be so well-stocked in an emergency. Daphne's convinced that an assault on the palace would be suicidal, but Duke's certain that there's nobody home and that – besides – he has the knowledge and experience to lead a team out there.

Soon battle-lines are being drawn between the traditional and reserved Daphne and her American visitor. Meanwhile Daphne faces an insidious challenge from within her own household, while the barricades at both ends of the street are struggling to cope with attacks. London is descending into chaos and, with no hope of rescue, the survivors on Sombie Street – now renamed Zombie Street – realize that they're soon going to have to make a terrifying choice.

Blood & Bone is the second book in the Duchess of Zombie Street series, about a desperate band of survivors trying to survive a zombie apocalypse in a single London street.
