"We were the goblins of the desert.

We made it throughout all the years with little to nothing.

  We knew how to survive almost anything.

We just did not know how to survive The End." 
-Daniel

Daniel's tribe, the Dust Eaters, leave off their hunting and gathering methods out in the desert.

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 END

30 parts Complete Mature

All her life, Bee Samuels has been caged in the bunker her family's been holed up in since World War III. Her mother harps on about how she is God's chosen one. How she's going to save the world from a premature rapture. When a wendigo slashes Bee's mother to death, she grapples to protect herself and her family when she discovers an incinerating fire burning inside her. Powerful enough to destroy the indomitable Leviathans, but also delicate enough to tease a flower into blooming. She's shoved face first into a world that's waiting for her. They call her The One and place their hopes and dreams on her shoulders. It's a burden she's not sure she can carry. It doesn't help that her adversary is the handsome stranger that makes her heart pound, her stomach jittery, and makes breathing an afterthought. The stranger that keeps appearing, trying to befriend her. The man who stole her first kiss. Can Bee end the tyrant reign of the Leviathans before they wipe out the entire human race?
