Life has never been kind. Reality has a special way of creeping into our hearts and disrupting everything we, as humans, live for. Our humanity has been tested for years, but what happens when we fail? History has taken us thus far, and human failures have led us to our own destruction.

But, what happens when we pass?

Esmeralda Cantor is among one of the tested ones. After recent events have led her to believe there is no good left in the world, a new reality crashes into her. Left to die with those who have failed just like her, a new family like no other takes her in.

Will the darkness of her heart impact those who saved her? Or have they already been touched by reality?

"If she was going to kill people for a living, guilty or innocent, then so be it. The reality of her world was unkind to those who needed it most, replacing the considered bad and the ugly with masked robots to lead."

Exile: The Book of Ever by JamesCormier
30 parts Complete
Centuries after the Fall, the United States has been wiped away. The crumbling remains of the great American empire are home now only to savage, lawless tribes and packs of ravening Damned-the twisted children of the apocalypse. Most of those few who survived humanity's destruction spend their short lives in a violent struggle for survival. But some light still flickers in the darkness: the Blessed of Bountiful live in seclusion, relying on walls both physical and spiritual to protect them from the Desolation that their world has become. Among them are the Saints, those few men and women born with superhuman abilities that the Blessed see as gifts from God. The violent apostate tribes of the Northeast Kingdom have always been a danger, but up until recently its small size and the vigilance of its people have made Bountiful an unappealing target. As attacks on the community grow harsher and more frequent, however, even the steadfast Blessed are forced to start preparing for the worst. With her home's very existence threatened, seventeen year old Ever Oaks, a Saint with the power to heal, is forced to make a difficult choice, one that may come to define her people's future... Exile was a semi-finalist in Mark Lawrence's Great Self-Published Fantasy Blog-Off (#SPFBO). Fantasy Faction said it was "extremely cool," and Bookish Lifestyle called it "more than just a story, a journey and an experience." When I'm asked about it, I often describe it as "X-Men meets The Walking Dead." In addition to reading it here for free, you can buy Exile in e-book or paperback on Amazon.com.

The government has a secret, they are the cause of the apocalypse of the dead. They wanted a weapon, something that no one would be able to beat. They created a virus, one that wakes the dead, that creates more like them. But it went wrong. It kills women, and those women infect others. They've found no women that can get past it. They keep the secret, let the world believe the apocalypse is here, that the government didn't just kill the world, while they search for a cure. It's then that they learn of the one girl that hasn't been infected, she's immune, and they're going to do everything they can to get her. Cassandra Bryan, a 19 year old college student, is thrown into the world of the undead when she comes home to witness firsthand what the world has come to. All she wants is to keep her friends safe and find somewhere safe they can live, away from the horrors of the world. She travels the continent, trying to find somewhere she can stay. She faces unimaginable threats and has to learn to face her fears, or die at the hands of them. She faces many things and find some things. She faces death and sadness, faces the unthinkable. And she finds real friendship and even love. Is it possible to love in the apocalypse? She'll just have to find out. She learns of what the government did and that they are looking for her, and she runs, trying to keep her and her friends alive. But there's only so much one girl can do. Will she find somewhere safe to hide from the government? Or will the government finally catch her? Will she fall to the world of the undead? Will her love survive the apocalypse? Or will she lose everything in her journey to survive? The beautiful cover was done by @mrsmalik892
California Under Attack: The Tragedy of Kassie by 5thWaveMovie
4 parts Complete
After a power outage that shook the world, a tsunami that left her hometown underwater, and a viral disease that resulted in a separation from the rest of her family, Kassandra Tate thought she'd never live to actually see the monsters behind the first three waves of the apocalypse. That is, until she realizes the monster has always been inside of her. Killing other humans isn't something Kassandra would ever choose to do, but she doesn't have a choice. There is this voice in the back of her head saying things she can't comprehend--this inescapable instinct pulling her to do the unthinkable. Murder is the only thing on her mind when she shows up at a makeshift shelter near the washed-up remains of her home in California, but before she can so much as make a move, she notices just who the refugees are: a girl and a boy around her age, and--most surprisingly--her twin sister Kalina. Kalina was supposed to have died long ago in the epidemic. She and the rest of their family had been quarantined into a sick-ward of their safety camp, and Kassandra had been told that survival was hopeless--that they were goners. So what was Kalina doing here now, alive? In an attempt to reconnect with her twin, Kassandra curves her urge to attack as best as she can. The longer she stays with Kalina and the refugees, however, the harder she finds it is to keep her composure. How can Kassandra control the Silencer within her, before it takes over completely?
