Far beneath the surface of a planet wrapped in a toxic atmosphere, competing political ideologies stare each other down over a heavily militarised line that cuts through the city on their border. Among the dark rail tunnels and mine shafts are an unfinished treaty up for negotiation; a fanatical terrorist group with questionable backers; and ordinary people caught in the middle. In this claustrophobic environment, those who desire peace must act quickly or these tunnels will collapse in the fires of war.

This story is based on a role-playing map game I GM'd last year. The four main characters are based on the four players from that map game, and the general sequence of events follows the game as well.

Fear
Psychological Horror and Slow-burn Dark Romance. 18+ --------------------------- It's been five years since that fateful Friday night. I remember it like it was yesterday. The night I was kidnapped. I was held against my will. Tortured. Starved. Broken apart, piece by piece. All in the name of "curing" me. He didn't just steal my freedom. He rewrote the rules of pain, of fear - and then, somehow, of love. If you'd told me I'd fall for the man who ruined my life, I would've laughed in your face. But reality doesn't always follow logic. He's given me this journal and I'm going to write my story. This is my truth. My confession. My war cry. Because what he did to me deserves to be known. --------------------------- THIS BOOK CONTAINS TRAUMATIC CONTENT!

It's the first breath of fresh, unfamiliar air which she wouldn't get beaten for, but that doesn't take away the danger. She's unprotected and isolated because of who she is, but she's one of the most dangerous things out there. With death waiting around the corner at every turn, Skye's group focuses on their main goal: the capital.

The Demons of Oibahn
Four strangers find themselves trapped in a cage without any knowledge of the past three years. To figure out what happened, they'll have to somehow get along, then investigate every lead together. None of them are prepared for the wars they'll fight through, or even the truth. This is the first book I ever ever wrote, so it's a little rough. Consider it non-canon. This takes place well after the Silent Veil, at the end of ACT 1 for the overarching plot. This contains spoilers basically, but most of those plot points have changed anyways since this book was written. There are also themes I don't exactly align with anymore. I plan to completely re-write this story in the future. For now, I hope you'll enjoy what I did about this thing: fun characters going through a fun romp in space. What to expect: Fun, action, disco! George 'Slick' a disco legend that can glue anyone together. Kielbir a merciless pirate, but he doesn't remember that bit. Donid a sniper poet with daddy and mommy issues. Lou Hull an engineer with lacking self confidence. Be prepared for a love triangle, a great political conspiracy, and horrific discoveries.Complete
Abject in the Dust
The unquenchable quest for wealth killed the world. Great armies were not the weapon of choice. Something smaller was the nemesis of mankind. Genetically engineered nematodes - microscopic worms designed to destroy rice crops. A miscalculated attempt by Western powers to rewrite their fate which ends with a world devoid of vegetation. Billions have perished. The air is heavy with poisons. Food is in short supply and cannibalism is common. Only the biggest seas and rivers remained unaffected. Those that had the means took to the oceans - harvesting the sea, safe from predators. With the promise that they would return. Decades have passed without hope. Sam - a woman born out of chaos and a borderline sociopath - comes to act as a guide for others in search of a ship which they believe contains large stockpiles of seeds. Sam's true motivations are constantly brought into question as the party face a series of challenges - emotional and physical - as they make their way through Eastern Europe.Complete
