The Story So Far

When the Fall took place, Daryl Dixon joined a group of survivors outside Atlanta. Though initially derided for his temper, Daryl proved himself a loyal ally of the group, and struck up a strong friendship with Carol Peletier. Daryl eventually became second-in-command to the group’s leader, Rick Grimes.

After the group migrated to Virginia, Daryl, Carol, and their other friends were devastated when Rick was seemingly lost in an explosion. Years later, Daryl and Carol helped lead their Coalition of communities into war against the Whisperers. During the conflict, Rick’s widowed wife Michonne left for an unknown reason; in her absence, Daryl and Carol became the guardians of Rick and Michonne’s children Judith and R.J.

Judith eventually revealed to Daryl and Carol that Michonne had left home to search for Rick after discovering evidence he survived the bridge explosion. A year later, when peace had been brought to the Coalition and the Commonwealth, Daryl set out on a journey away from home and promised to bring Rick and Michonne back if he found them, leaving the children in Carol’s care.

Daryl’s journey, however, is about to hit a speed bump that will take him to the other side of the world…

Paris may be dead, but hope lives.

"The world is lost. We know that. Hope fades gradually, and then all at once. If we're wrong, at least you will have helped a boy get to a better place. But if we're right... why not bet on hope?"

— Isabelle Carriere
