The world has ended. 130 years ago, the living system of America collapsed, leaving a flourishing population scrounging for food in a world-wide famine, abandoning most religion and customs in order to survive. Four lord's reign over the ravaged land, more concerned with wealth and power than anything else.
Aaron Price has lived his whole life in Pit, a town located in the center of a nuclear blast crater somewhere near where California used to stand. He has lived his whole life in the bottle of grey smoke, unaware and not caring about the surrounding turmoil. Until he finds himself in the heart of the resistance. Learning his whole life is one big lie, he learns to resents his new home, and even resents what he has learned of himself. But the world is threatening to end once again, and he is the key to stopping it all. The fate of the world rests squarely on his shoulders, and not all the scales and gems in the world can aid him now.

AshBorn
ASHBORN The world ended in fire, and the ashes learned to breathe. Two centuries after the Cataclysm, humanity hides inside fortress-cities called Wards, surrounded by wastelands where storms twist flesh and memory into monsters. Those who step outside rarely come back. Those who do aren't quite human anymore. Kael Thorne is one of them. Once a soldier, now a Reclaimer-a man cursed to survive the very storm that killed his wife. His veins glow with crimson light, his memories fading with every battle. When he finds a fragment of her voice echoing from the ruins, he ventures into the Ashlands to find the truth-or die trying. With him travels a crew of broken souls: a sniper who lost her faith, an engineer haunted by the machines he builds, and a girl born of the storm itself. Together they cross cities turned to glass and rivers that burn black, hunted by the zealots of a scientist-turned-goddess whose experiments shattered the world. At the heart of the storm lies the Crown of Ash, where the final war waits-a battle between memory and evolution, love and oblivion. Kael must choose whether to save the world that destroyed him... or become the god who remakes it. Ashborn is a dark action-adventure of survival, identity, and rebirth-where every fight burns away a little more of the soul, and even monsters remember what it means to be human

In The End
Hundreds of years after the fall of advanced civilization, survivors struggle with everyday life. Tormented by loss, a young man abandons the fragile comfort of what little remains, drawn by a desperate hope and an enigmatic guide. His journey leads him to a hidden realm of ancient beings, who offer a harrowing rebirth - a communion with something primeval that reshapes flesh and spirit. But this agonizing awakening coincides with a horrifying truth: the desolate world outside is undergoing its own monstrous transformation. Predators, once familiar, now hunt with unnatural savagery, their eyes burning with a malevolent intelligence. Here, survival is not a promise, but a terrifying metamorphosis, a plunge into an escalating nightmare where the line between humanity and what lurks in the shadows blurs, and the cost of living might be a fate far worse than death.

71
The world ended a long time ago. Some humans survived. But in order to do so, the original Survivors enhanced themselves with animal DNA, adopting traits that allowed them to live in this mutated wilderness of giant Beasts and vast, unexplored swathes of jungle-AKA, the Wold. But something that unnatural had to come at a cost. Meet Ash-one of the unlucky ones. She's almost human-71%, to be exact. With cat claws, ears, and a lot of anxiety, she's on the run to avoid death or slavery at the hands of human purists in the Capital. And, she just might have accidentally set out to save the rest of her kind along the way. When she encounters Stone on her quest, a brooding wolf-boy who relies on knives and sarcasm to fight his way through the Wold, she may get a lot more than she signed up for, as he decides to accompany her along on her quest. Through endless battles, hidden villages, and touching encounters with the travelers of the Wold, Ash and Stone may just change the world as they know it.Compleet
