Reen is a young man suffering with Porphyria, medical vampirism, through the post-WWIII nuclear winter. Unable to afford proper medical supplies, Reen, his mother, and his best friend Liam aid him in his illness, as Reen collects blood to sustain himself. First drinking the blood of animals, and then being employed as a hired gun and taking human blood as a spoil, Reen becomes a vampiric outcast to all but those who know him best. However, when 19 year old Liam mysteriously vanishes, it is Reen's only desire to survive the wilderness and bring him back.

Nite and her adoptive father live in the far western region of Dahlara, cut off from much of the world. They captain a riverboat and take merchants to nearby port cities. It's a simple, oftentimes difficult life, but it's the life that Nite loves. Her peaceful world begins to collapse when a group of strangers clad in military uniform arrive at her door and demand that she take them downriver into an off-limits section of the country: The Forbidden Jungle. She knows that if she refuses them, then they will kill her. She also knows that if she goes into the jungle, she won't come out alive. After all, it is called the Forbidden Jungle for a reason. ----------------------- Beautiful cover made by @Jenny20
