TheOrensummoner
Five hundred years after a nuclear strike turned a thriving city into a sealed-off wasteland, the survivors live in fear of the Basilisks - massive, genetically-engineered snakes created from a failed experiment to end world hunger.
Drew has lived his entire life on the edge of the Dome, scraping by in silence and solitude. But when a Basilisk crashes through his home, everything changes. Forced into the ruins of a forgotten world, Drew uncovers ancient stones pulsing with mysterious symbols and unimaginable power - one of which embeds itself in his palm.
Now hunted, injured, and utterly unprepared, Drew must survive alongside Maria - a fierce survivor with powers of her own and secrets to match. Together, they'll uncover the truth behind the Basilisks, the gems, and the fate of the world buried beneath centuries of rubble and regret.
Because in a city sealed off from hope, the only way to survive... is to run.
