Haris follows closely behind until we reach the main entrance of the building. We stand behind the glass doors and stare in shock at the new world that we are now forced to call our own. The trees, which had once been green with life, are now dull, drained of color as if an illness has taken over. The grass is now dry and yellow, like the winter season had come early this year. In the distance, I could hear car alarms going off and people honking at each other. Further down the hill, cars collide together to form a massive build-up of at least 20 vehicles with a raging fire caused by the spilt gasoline. I look at Haris with tears threatening to spill from my eyes, "How are we gonna get home?" "I don't know," he truthfully answers while gripping my hand. I knew a war was eventually going to happen, but I never pictured it coming so soon. --- Cover by @divinare HIGHEST RANKING: #60

After an apocalyptic event that thrusts the world into a new ice age, Calestia - a 17-year-old girl with a strong will - must learn to survive on a land infested with gangs, guns, and distrust. ***** Nobody knows what day it is anymore. Nobody knows the month, the day of the week...and the only way to tell time is by the slight change in the color of the sky from grey to black every twenty-four hours. If a day even is twenty-four hours anymore. The planet is dead. The people are dead. Snow falls down upon piles of bodies like the ash of a volcanic eruption. Except, the snow doesn't stop. It never does. It continues to fall and fall until you wonder if it is even possible for another flake to come down and land silently in your hair. But it does. They do. There are few survivors of what the remaining have started to call the end of the world. The Apocalypse. Few who are still brave or scared of death enough to face the torture that is living. I am one of those survivors. Book One of the Snow Series Highest ranking: #3 in Sci-Fi Watty's Shortlisted

In times of hardship, order is lost. When the Circle of the Sand, one of the thirteen Circles of survivors, plans to attack her home, a criminal must race against time to prevent a war that is coming. She cannot trust anyone but herself because on this mission to save what's left of the human race, the secrets she harbours means that it's not just the enemy who wants her dead. It's her own people too. Peace is fragile, conflict between individuals arise, war becomes inevitable; that's basic human nature. As tension rises, and war approaches, will she be able to save everyone whilst also trying to prove she's innocent, or will she die trying? One thing is for sure: one way or another, the truth won't stay hidden for long. ** COVER CRED: @a_million_universes **
