[BOOK 2 - SEQUEL TO WITHERING WORLD] It only takes an earthquake and a breathtaking discovery of enhanced human abilities for Jesse's life to change. WITHER was conquered three years ago, bringing brighter days to Beacontown and its allies. The blue mycelium antidote is now the people's weapon, keeping the disease in its grave. And as a plus, the New Order's friendship has never been closer. But when a war is lost, not everyone wants to accept defeat, especially not the disease that'd almost doomed humanity. A wicked mutation is underway, too remorseless to spare even the ones who have the greatest chance of survival. This new, blood-curdling variant is wiser, stronger and has stolen the very tactic that Jesse uses to bring home the victory every time - teamwork. Now forcing the infected to their side, WITHER taunts at the antidote that no longer cures. What hope is left for the world? ~~~~ -PERSPECTIVES- [JESSE - 1ST PERSON] [LUKAS - 1ST PERSON] [PETRA - 1ST PERSON] ****

It wasn't what they truly wanted, but it was satisfying enough - tales of the New Order's adventures spread far and wide, with everyone who heard it always dying to meet their heroes. No wonder Jesse's town has rapidly grown since Petra left for her adventures. But after an aching 2 years, the warrior returns, reuniting with her friends and seeking to lay off the hardcore adventuring for a while. Little do they know that Beacontown is unstable, its overpopulation causing a sinister, world-dominating apocalypse to unleash. Sickness, panic, and grief begin to loom among the people who are waiting on the antidote that Jesse, Petra, and Lukas are tasked to retrieve. Now, it's only a matter of time until the whole planet withers, or even worse, when those with the sickness reach the final stage. History repeats itself when the heroes find that it's them against the world. They've slain a Witherstorm, but can they survive the consequences of a Wither fallout? ~~~~ -PERSPECTIVES- [PETRA - 1ST PERSON] [JESSE - 1ST PERSON] [LUKAS - 1ST PERSON] ****
