His grip only tightened, and he stepped closer, pinning her against the cold, rough wood of the shack. "I told you, you're not running away again. I'm not going to let you keep running from me." The other two men-her captors-emerged from the shadows behind him, their faces as menacing as ever. The blond one with the rifle and the dark-haired one who had always watched her with a calculating gaze. They were all here. And just like that, she was trapped.

A generation after humanity has destroyed itself in a war the survivors don't even remember the cause of, elves and magic have re-emerged, not as saviors, but oppressors. In the remaining cities, a nobility of fae with unmitigated cruelty has taken control of the human population. In the wilderness, a human monastery, in harmony with independent human villages, launches a reclamation project in the deep wooded ruins of a New England college town. On the outside, the motive of this commune appears altruistic, sending young acolytes out to explore the ruins of libraries and other cultural centers to try and recreate an archive of human civilization from "Before the Fall." Two sisters are rescued from the oppression of the fae dominated cities and indoctrinated into the reclamation project. The elder, Akira, has gone to extreme measures to ensure their survival at any cost. The younger, Pearl, has maintained her innocence and continues to view the world from an idealistic perspective. Can they save the world through their love and devotion, or will they succumb to the evils of the world? Is evil intrinsic?

After the Second Civil War shattered America, the undead came to finish the job- or so it seemed. Just as hope faded, a vaccine turned the tide, giving humanity a chance to rebuild. But in the forgotten ruins of the past, for some, the nightmare never ended. For five years, Bob Kelley has lived alone in an abandoned evacuation shelter, haunted by the screams of those he couldn't save. Outside, civilization is slowly clawing its way back-but something far worse than the undead now stalks the streets. A fanatical cult known as The Ascended believes the zombie plague was a divine gift-a sacred cleansing-and they're determined to finish what war and virus could not. Armed with his father's shotgun, hard-earned militia training, and a past that won't let him go, Bob emerges from the darkness to face a new kind of enemy. Joined by a ragtag team of survivors and soldiers, he sets out to stop the cult before their madness consumes what's left of the world. But salvation won't come easy. Every step deeper into the ruined metro reveals a dark conspiracy, an army of the risen dead, and a final reckoning-with the fate of humanity hanging in the balance.

Fifty years ago, the Veyans vanished. Their ships rose as one and disappeared into the void, leaving behind ruins, fractured technology, and a world collapsing into chaos. Time itself began to break-pockets of the past bleeding into the present, moments of the future flickering and dying before they could be born. They call it the Fracture. Lyra survives by scavenging Veyan relics and trading them to the highest bidder. Hope is a luxury she abandoned long ago. Trust is a weakness she cannot afford. But when she discovers an artifact no human has ever seen, the dormant Signal Tower screams to life-and through the static, a voice speaks. His name is Solen. He is Veyan. He is dying, scattered across the broken timeline of Earth. And he believes Lyra is the only one who can save him. Bound together by the artifact, Lyra ventures into the Fracture Zones-where past and present collide, and danger waits in every shadow. As she hunts for the fragments of Solen, their connection deepens into something neither expected. A longing that bends time. A bond that defies the ruins of a dying world. But the signal has awakened something else. An ancient enemy that hunted the Veyans across the stars now turns its gaze toward Earth. The Fracture is widening. The enemy is feeding. And Lyra must make an impossible choice: save the man she is falling for, or send the last signal before dawn-a call that could heal the world, but cost her everything. A sweeping sci-fi romance. A love story across time. A final chance for a dying world.

The Program is evolving. And this time, it's not just fighting back-it's winning.

An endless winter storm has descended upon the lands of Skadha, freezing everything in its path and twisting humanity itself. Those caught in the storm mutate violently, becoming unrecognizable monsters, forcing the survivors to flee beneath the earth.

Each layer has its own societies, markets, dangers, and secrets, forming a complex world where survival is a constant struggle. To maintain order and protect the people who live below, the Unus Commission was established. As the governing authority of the Depths, it oversees a network of subordinate Commissions and controls the Handlers, contracted mercenaries who take on dangerous missions for food, wealth, and survival.
