Magic is a force of nature. And in the country of Mednagora, it can be studied, understood, and even harnessed into strange and wondrous technology. But every new advancement comes at a price: magic must be harvested as "artifacts" from The Zone: one of many hotspots of wild magic, where fireballs and lightning bolts surge forth from the very ground, where wildlife is mutated into grotesque, hideous monsters, where even the dead sometimes rise from their slumber. The Zone must be explored by vedmaks, pathfinders and daredevils that wander it in search of viable sources of artifacts. Two of these vedmaks, Misha Sorokina and her protege, Drazhek Sventoslavichi, embark on a quest into The Bald Mountains, in search of an underground cache of artifacts. But if such grave peril marks the surface of The Zone, then what trials await beneath The Earth?

In one day, the world succumbed to a pestilence that decimated the living. In its place rose a new species: vicious, gruesome, wandering zombies with an insatiable hunger for the living. Still in her twenties, Cash has watched her friends die, only to walk again. An office worker with few survival skills, she joins up with Clutch, a grizzled Army veteran with PTSD. Together, they flee the city and struggle through the nine circles of hell, with nothing but Clutch's military experience and Cash's determination to live. As they fight to survive in the zombie inferno, they quickly discover that nowhere is safe from the undead...or the living. (100 Days in Deadland is a journey through the first poem in Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy, the classic tale on the horrors of hell... zombie apocalypse style!) (Note: This is a draft so please excuse any errors. The finished novel is available in paperback, ebook, and audiobook).
