After Blue Light
What happened at last year's farewell party? No one talks about it - and Aarav never answers. Once known for his quiet charm and perfect grades, Aarav now moves through the halls like a ghost. The laughter of his classmates feels distant, the world a little heavier. He doesn't believe in love, friendship, or promises anymore - just the passing of days. Then, one morning, the sky turns blue. Not the peaceful kind - the kind that hums, flickers, and burns. Within hours, the city collapses into chaos. Students are trapped inside the school as explosions echo across the horizon. Panic replaces order. Survival replaces kindness. And through it all, Aarav finds himself surrounded by people he once ignored - each breaking in their own way. As fear spreads and loyalties shatter, the question echoes louder than ever: What really happened that night? And what will become of those who live through the blue light?Complete
Exile: The Book of Ever
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.Complete![Leila of the Concrete Jungle [Book Three]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/178268094-256-k812218.jpg)
